ACCRG Webinar: Teamwork among healthcare professionals in critical care (the FEARLESS ICU study)
Tuesday 24 February 2026, 3:30-4:30pm
Speaker: Dr Andreas Xyrichis
Dr Xyrichis, PhD, is an intensive care nurse and Reader at King’s College London. His research centres on strengthening interprofessional, team-based approaches in healthcare, encompassing workforce preparation and training, and the development and evaluation of interprofessional interventions.
In his talk, Andreas will introduce the FEARLESS ICU study, which provides timely insight into ICU teamworking in a post-pandemic landscape. By identifying factors that hinder and support effective teamwork, it aims to offer practical guidance to strengthen collaboration, support staff wellbeing and retention, and improve patient outcomes within increasingly pressured ICU settings.
