The Organisation

At the Intensive Care National Audit and Research Centre (ICNARC), we work to ensure the best possible critical care by facilitating improvements in the structure, process, outcomes and experiences - for patients and for those who care for them. 
We achieve this by developing and sharing information about the quality of critical care to those who finance, commission, manage, deliver and experience critical care (both within and outside the NHS) through our national clinical audit and through our national and international research.
