An expert panel of specialist critical care pharmacists, senior NHS pharmacists and Department of Health personnel have produced guidance on the practice, skills and experience needed by pharmacists wishing to specialise in the area of adult critical care.

Based on the ACLF developed by CoDEG, the guidance describes the specialist competencies required for critical care pharmacy practice. The document also defines roles and responsibilities within critical care pharmacy and provides a structure for further professional development.

The guidance document is available to download here, and is also on the Department of Health website.
