Share your knowledge

The best teaching in paediatric intensive care often never leaves the unit it was given in. Articles are a way to share it: short, practical pieces by doctors, nurses, physiotherapists and ACPs, at any stage and in any country.

What you could write

• Case-based learningAn invented or fully anonymised case, and what it teaches.
• How I do itA practical skill or routine, step by step, from the bedside.
• ExplainerA topic made clear: the physiology, the decision, the pitfalls.
• Journal clubA paper worth knowing about: what it found and whether it should change practice.
• CommentaryYour view on new guidance, a change in practice or a debate in the field.
• ReflectionWorking in PICU: the team, families, wellbeing, learning from things that went wrong.

What you get

• Your name, role and unit on the article, with a permanent link you can cite and put in your portfolio.
• A careful read by PICUlearn before it goes live, and a "Reviewed by PICUlearn" mark once it has.
• Readers: it goes to members who follow its topics, in their For you page and weekly email.
• Peeky, PICUlearn's learning assistant, can quote it, with your name as the source.

How it works

1. Write it here, in your own time. Drafts are saved and only you can see them.
2. Send it for review. PICUlearn reads it and either publishes it or comes back to you with suggestions.
3. Once it is live, share it. Every article has its own page and sharing image.

The rules

• Nothing that could identify a patient. Cases must be invented or fully anonymised.
• No drug doses, infusion rates or fluid volumes: explain the treatment's role and point to the BNF for Children and local guidance.
• Your own work, and yours to publish. You keep the copyright; published articles are shared under the CC BY-NC 4.0 licence.
• Between 250 and 3,000 words. Reference your sources.
