Paediatric Intensive Care Audit Network

PICANet aims to continually support the improvement of paediatric intensive care throughout the UK through clinical audit. The Paediatric Intensive Care Audit Network (PICANet) is a national audit, coordinated by the Universities of Leeds and Leicester, which collects data on all children admitted to paediatric intensive care units (PICUs) across the UK.
