Intensive Care Monitor is the current awareness, evidence-based journal which provides a very valuable resource for intensivists at every level in their career. Subscribers include ICU Chiefs, Senior Consultants, newly-appointed Consultants and Trainee Intensivists from all over the world. All find it one of the best ways of keeping up with the literature and accessing the opinions of leading experts in the different areas of intensive care.

The following comments testify to the varied appeal of Intensive Care Monitor:

‘I have recently been appointed as Director of the International Critical Care Fellowship program for Toronto General and Mount Sinai Hospitals, part of the University of Toronto. I have 10 clinical and research fellows and I have paid for a subscription for them for the Monitor. I have had a personal subscription for the last 5 years and as a consultant in Critical Care I find it very useful indeed. Because the Monitor contains expert international editorials, I think that it will be of great value for our fellows, especially when they return to their home country after they complete our program.’ Dr. Andrew Steel, Canada.

‘I have subscribed continuously to Intensive Care Monitor since it was first published in March 1994. I have done so because it is very useful for me to access abstracts of papers impacting on the ICU which I have not read. The comments are particularly useful because they are both interesting and oriented to ICU practice.’ Hervé Zender, MD, Chief of the ICU, Hôpital Neuchâtelois – La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland

‘I have used Intensive Care Monitor throughout my training in intensive care medicine. However, it was in the preparation for the DICM exam that it truly proved itself to be an invaluable resource and I recently sat and passed the DICM. I have widely recommended Intensive Care Monitor to trainees and colleagues in N.Ireland, and will continue to do so.’ Dr Aoibhin Hutchinson, Belfast, Northern Ireland.
