PICANet State of the Nation Report 2024
This National Paediatric Critical Care Audit State of the Nation Report describes paediatric critical care activity occurring within designated Level 3 paediatric intensive care units (PICU) and Specialist Paediatric Critical Care Transport Services in the United Kingdom (UK) and Republic of Ireland (ROI) during 2021 – 2023.

Each year we make national recommendations in our State of the Nation Reports. Our latest Impact Report describes how last year’s recommendations have encouraged and supported developments to investigate areas of inequality and improve the quality of paediatric critical care.
The Infographic highlights some of the report’s key findings.
The Appendices contain acknowledgements to the paediatric critical care community, as well as background information and methodology about the audit.
