On September 15th, CNSABC hosted one of its regular webinars where we invite a BC Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) or Nurse Leader to share a presentation about their work with our wider community. 

On this Day Vini Bains, the CNS for Critical Care at St. Paul's Hospital, shared how they rapidly adapted critical care services for the COVID-19 pandemic. This presentation reviews, the early days of the pandemic, the team nursing pilot St. Paul's ICU conducted to help them develop their surge planning, how they applied what they learned to their pandemic surge response, and finally what we can apply to help us create a more resilient system in the future.
