This will be the second time the congress is held in Asia where intensive and critical care medicine has undergone a marked development over the past decades. With its theme ‘One Step Further,’ the Congress will provide ample learning opportunities for practical knowledge and skills. It will be a great occasion to deepen mutual understanding between our colleagues working under diverse medicosocial conditions where all medical professionals can advance a ‘Step Further Together’. Over 120 renowned scholars from every continent have confirmed their participation so far and more speakers will be invited to ensure a Congress filled with rich and insightful sessions. The WFSICCM Seoul 2015 Congress Organizing Committee is committed to making this Congress accessible to professionals from all over the world so that they may fully participate in this event and enjoy the benefits. To this end, we are offering travel grants to critical care professionals from resource-limited regions and countries. The invited physicians and nurses will join the Congress to share their knowledge and medical experiences with other professionals, and to gain new insights from renowned professionals. And this will also help promote the status of the field of intensive care medicine in the world. The Committee promises to put its utmost effort to provide the high-quality experience of large-scale exhibitions and also enjoyable social events where you can establish a new global network. We sincerely hope that you find the new perspectives of critical care and the scientific programs presented at the congress interesting and valuable. I look forward to your distinguished presence at the WFSICCM Seoul 2015 Congress. Thank you. Warmest regards, KOH Younsuck, M.D., Ph.D., FCCM Chairman, WFSICCM Seoul 2015 Organizing Committee Professor, Medicine, Medical Humanities and Social Sciences, Department of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, University of Ulsan College of Medicine 03 WELCOME MESSAGES World Federation of Societies of Intensive and Critical Care Medicine (WFSICCM) The WFSICCM exists since 1977, developed as an organization of National Societies of Intensive and Critical Care Medicine with the aim of promoting the best possible standards of intensive and critical care medicine around the globe. In those early days, although a great concept, the World Federation was relatively limited in terms of achieving its objectives, and consisted largely of a group of individuals who liked to travel from one meeting to another! Progressively, the WFSICCM has become more and more active and effective – today the world is flat and it is easy to communicate with almost anyone, almost anywhere around the globe, at almost any time. Travel is also easier and more accessible, such that WF meetings are now held every other year instead of every four years. Two years after our Durban Congress and two years before Rio de Janeiro hosts the event, we will meet in Seoul, a fascinating city located along the Han River of South Korea. Easily reached from many parts of the world, this beautiful city combines ancient culture and historical buildings with modern developments and life-style in a surprisingly harmonious manner. The theme of the Seoul Congress is “One Step Further: The Pursuit of Excellence in Critical Care” highlighting the importance of small steps in the development and progress of intensive care, as in many other aspects of life. But taking a step is always easier with support, so let’s help each other - we all have so many things to share and so much to learn from one another. We really hope you will join with us in Seoul to hear about new developments, learn new skills, share experiences, and meet colleagues from around the world. Let’s step forward together into a better “intensive care” world. VINCENT Jean-Louis, M.D., Ph.D. President, World Federation of Societies of Intensive and Critical Care Medicine (WFSICCM) Professor, Intensive Care Medicine, Université Libre de Bruxelles 04 World Federation of Critical Care Nurses (WFCCN) Dear Friends and Colleagues, It is my distinct pleasure, on behalf of the World Federation of Critical Care Nurses (WFCCN), to invite you to join in the activities and international networking opportunities by attending the 12th Congress of the World Federation of Societies of Intensive and Critical Care Medicine. The WFCCN is pleased to pledge our joint support and collaboration for the Critical Care Congress on August 29 through September 1, 2015, in Seoul Korea. The theme of the 2015 Congress “One Step Further: The Pursuit of Excellence in Critical Care” designates the importance of coming together to share strategies for achieving excellence in critical care practice. The Seoul Congress will highlight advances in critical care medicine practice, research, and education as well as the contributions of interprofessional critical care in advancing patient care and promoting best patient care outcomes. The WFCCN, with 42 international country members representing over 500,000 critical care nurses worldwide, is proud to cohost the Congress. We encourage critical care nurses, doctors, pharmacists, advanced practice providers, allied health professionals, and industry partners or others interested in critical care, to join with us to experience what promises to be a most important meeting for critical care practitioners. The Congress venue will provide a unique setting for learning, sharing, and strategizing to further advance critical care throughout the world. WFCCN is proud to serve as a co-host for the 12th World Congress of Intensive and Critical Care Medicine. KLEINPELL Ruth, Ph.D., RN, FCCM President, World Federation of Critical Care Nurses (WFCCN) Professor, Center for Clinical Research and Scholarship, Rush University college of nursing World Federation of Pediatric Intensive and Critical Care Societies (WFPICCS) Dear friends, On behalf of the World Federation of Pediatric Intensive Care Societies (WFPICCS), I am delighted to welcome you to the ‘12th Congress of the World Federation of Societies of Intensive and Critical Care Medicine (WFSICCM)’, to be held at Seoul from 29th August to 1st September 2015. The theme of the Congress is: ‘One Step Further: The Pursuit of Excellence in Critical Care’. It will bring together a galaxy of world renowned Faculty, with a vast repertoire of experience and expertise. Over 3000 delegates are expected to participate, creating a fertile ground for fruitful scientific and social interactions. As the theme suggests, the Congress will highlight the latest advances in the field of critical care, and current research from the bench to the bedside. I invite all my colleagues, Pediatric critical care physicians, nurses, and students, working at all levels, and assure them that they will greatly benefit from the opportunity to share knowledge and experiences not only with their pediatric critical care colleagues but also the colleagues in other specialties. The WFSICCM Congress will be the meeting point for critical care professionals from a diverse array of disciplines and an extraordinary opportunity to build further collaborations. The Organizers are working hard to put together an unparalleled scientific programme which will include excellent presentations on all aspects of critical care practice. I expect that participants from different health-care settings will enjoy the plenary sessions, guest lectures, special symposia, and especially the free paper sessions. The poster sessions will be a great meeting ground for new ideas, concepts and outputs. More details will be available on the Congress website as the dates draw closer. Seoul is a vibrant city that reflects a culture of traditional values, balanced with cutting-edge technology. In a sense, this mix of tradition with technology also reflects the work of health-care professionals working in critical care units all over the world. Therefore, the Congress theme and content will naturally appeal to everyone in the field. I look forward to welcome you at Seoul for a very memorable Congress. With Best regards, SINGHI Sunit, M.D., Ph.D. President, World Federation of Pediatric Intensive Care Societies (WFPICCS) Professor, Pediatric Emergencies and Intensive Care Units, Department of Pediatrics, Advanced Pediatrics Centre, PGIMER The Korean Society of Critical Care Medicine (KSCCM) Dear Colleagues, On behalf of the Korean Society of Critical Care Medicine (KSCCM), it is my great pleasure to invite you to the 12th Congress of the World Federation of Societies of Intensive and Critical Care Medicine (WFSICCM Seoul 2015), which will be held from 29 August to 1 September, 2015 in Seoul, Korea. The KSCCM was established on 19th December 1980 and has contributed greatly in promoting the updated knowledge and integrating key medical disciplines in the field of critical care medicine. With a view to highlighting the role of KSCCM as an invaluable source of support in advancing science and education throughout Korea and beyond, we feel more than convinced that the WFSICCM Seoul 2015 will become essential on the account of its coordination function and responsibility in providing most up-to-date information to meet the needs of participants from all over the world. Under the theme of “One Step Further: The Pursuit of Excellence in Critical Care,” the WFSICCM Seoul 2015 Congress Organizing Committee is preparing for the event in order to successfully deliver practical support and important insights required for critical care practice. It will offer a number of group discussions and workshops tailored to different levels of intensive and critical care. We sincerely hope that the upcoming conference serves as ideal venue where you see the new perspectives in critical care and find scientific programs that will be presented during the conference interesting and beneficial. In addition, the WFSICCM Seoul 2015 will offer an excellent opportunity for companies that want to showcase their latest products, services and technologies that can enhance the practice of critical care medicine. The KSCCM welcomes the world to Seoul, Korea in 2015 and join us for an exciting event in an unforgettable location.
