ACCCN & Austin Health VIC Seminar: Critical Care Outreach

When a patient deteriorates outside the ICU, what happens next?

Recognising deterioration is one thing. Knowing how to respond, coordinate care and support the wider clinical team is another.

Following a sold-out event in 2026, ACCCN and Austin Health are bringing critical care outreach clinicians together again for a day of practical learning, clinical discussion and professional connections.

Join us on Friday, 16 April 2027, for a seminar focused on the real challenges of caring for deteriorating patients and the evolving role of ICU outreach and liaison services.

What can you expect?

From managing clinical emergencies to strengthening team coordination, the program covers topics relevant to everyday practice, including:

• Recognising and responding to deterioration: Sepsis, tracheostomy emergencies, cardiovascular deterioration and MET call decisions.
• Managing complex clinical situations: Paediatric and maternal deterioration, cath lab emergencies and ICU liaison services overnight.
• Working effectively as a team: Role allocation, coordination of care and ICU liaison service delivery.
• Developing the outreach workforce: Education, credentialling and simulation-based learning.

See clinical decision-making in action

A highlight of the day will be a live on-stage clinical simulation, bringing the challenges of patient deterioration and team coordination to life. It's an opportunity to see how clinical decisions, communication and teamwork come together when responding to a deteriorating patient.

Learn, connect and share experiences

Beyond the clinical sessions, the seminar provides an opportunity to connect with fellow ICU outreach clinicians, share experiences and discuss the challenges facing the workforce. Whether you're an experienced ICU outreach clinician, work with deteriorating patients in acute care or have an interest in ICU liaison nursing, there's something to take away from the day.
