PICANet is the definitive source of data on paediatric intensive care activity in the UK and Ireland.

PICANet data has been used to plan PIC services, model demand, assess interventions and outcomes and provide data to underpin research to facilitate the development of new standards for critical care provision for children.

This post has been created to support the expansion of PICANet in England to encompass all critical care provision for children.

This post is based within the TIMMS group (The Infant Morbidity and Mortality Studies) in the Department of Health Sciences.
