The Journal of the Intensive Care Society (JICS) is an international, peer-reviewed journal that strives to disseminate clinically and scientifically relevant peer-reviewed research, evaluation, experience and opinion to all staff working in the field of intensive care medicine. Our aim is to inform clinicians on the provision of best practice and provide direction for innovative scientific research in what is one of the broadest and most multi-professional healthcare specialties.
While original articles and systematic reviews lie at the heart of the Journal, we also value and recognise the need for opinion articles and correspondence to guide clinically and scientifically important areas in which conclusive evidence is lacking. Above all, JICS’ primary purpose is to help support the advancement of intensive care both across the UK and globally.
