Intensive Care Specialist at Middlemore Hospital, Dr Carl Horsley talks to Kathryn about how one of the country's busiest intensive care units is adapting and changing to prepare for the spread of Covid. Dr Horsley has a Masters in Human Factors and System Safety from Lund University, Sweden. He is also the clinical lead for patient safety for the Health Quality and Safety Commission. New Zealand has the second lowest number of ICU beds per capita among developed countries. Dr Horsley says this is well known, but his team is constantly improving and refining the way it operates to optimise patient care and keep staff safe.
