The world’s first Silent ICU has opened at St Andrew’s War Memorial Hospital in Brisbane, Australia. Developed by the Critical Care Research Group, the project was delivered in collaboration with Ascom and Dräger. As Gianluca Testasecca puts it: “The Silent ICU challenges us to think differently about what the ICU should sound like.” 

We’re incredibly proud to be part of this ambitious and visionary project. Discover the full story, written by the CCRG and St Andrew’s War Memorial Hospital.

Major safety incidents often arise from an interplay of failing technology and insufficient boardroom priority. Trish Kerin knows both worlds. From oil industry mechanical engineer to executive, she now coaches C-level leaders in safety-critical sectors worldwide. What are her key insights for managers who take a safe workplace seriously?

The era of ventilator integration to the patient record

Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is one of the UK’s biggest providers of integrated hospital and community-based healthcare, offering a comprehensive range of local and tertiary services. Within the organization, the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) plays a critical role in caring for the most vulnerable patients—newborns requiring advanced medical support due to prematurity, congenital conditions, or severe illness.

As healthcare digitalizes, managing both clinical and personal alarms is key to ensuring safety, prompt responses, and high-quality care. The experience of the Frosinone Local Health Authority in Italy demonstrates how a structured approach can be adopted to coordinate the management of patient safety events and incidents related to the protection of healthcare staff.
