To make this all happen, we are bringing together an exceptional group of clinicians, thinkers, and educators. This includes Victoria Brazil, Eve Purdy, Brian Burns, Tom Evens, Neil Orford, and Shaun Greene. Their expertise spans resuscitation, human factors, trauma, toxicology, leadership, and systems innovation — from prehospital, the ED, and the ICU. They will be joined by a faculty of interprofessional clinicians and educators from the Alfred ICU.
The morning theme — Resuscitation of the Critically Ill — grapples with critical care toxicology, the art and science of resuscitology, and ECPR. We will be challenged to reexamine how we can save our sickest patients. Peak Performance in Critical Care follows in the afternoon. Here we examine how we perform under pressure, how we make teams work, and how we build cultures that support patient care. This is the human side of high‑stakes care — the mindsets, behaviours and workplace environments that allow clinicians to bring their best when it matters.
Central to Catalyst are high‑impact IDEAS talks — provocations that will inspire, clarify, and spark curiosity. They lead to immersive ACTION breakout sessions where participants roll up their sleeves, share their perspectives, and discover solutions to patient care problems. Each theme closes with a collective reflection to reinforce insights and support real change.
