The Culture of Care: Supporting PICU Staff Across European Systems

In this episode of the World PICU Awareness Week 2026 podcast series, we explore caregiver wellbeing through a Nordic perspective, with contributions from clinicians and researchers across Europe. Moderated by Prof. Janet Mattsson, this discussion brings together experienced PICU professionals from Sweden and Denmark to reflect on how wellbeing is supported in daily clinical practice. The conversation highlights the importance of structured approaches – from team check-ins and mentorship to ethical discussions and simulation-based learning – while also acknowledging the real challenges of implementing these practices in busy, high-demand PICU environments.
