It is our great pleasure to announce the details of our annual Round Table! The session will take place on June 18th, 16:00-18:00. We have two amazing speakers lined up, who will talk about different micronutrients in the ICU.
Prof. Anitra Carr surely needs no introduction, as she is a renowned scholar in the field of vitamin C. She will be present at our round table to talk about the role of vitamin C in the ICU.
Priv. Doz. Dr. Karin Amrein is a specialist in internal medicine and has been working on vitamin D deficiency, among many other topics. Drawing from her experience, she will give an online presentation on the topic of vitamin D in the ICU.
We are very curious what discussions these presentations will spark among the attendees, as we will be joined by medical professionals, researchers and patient representatives. Bringing these groups together is of great importance to us because observations by patients can be of great value in providing insight into what can promote quality of life. The connection of these insights with research by scientists takes us further; thus these two feed into each other.
If these topics piqued your interest as well, and you would like to attend this session through Teams, please reach out to us via our email:
