2025 marks the 50th birthday of ANZICS. Over the next 50 days, we will countdown to the 2025 Annual Scientific Meeting and pay homage to the people and events that helped shape our history and contribute to the advancement of intensive care practice. For many years, ANZICS was the only representative body for practicing intensivists in AUS & NZ. While there have been challenging times, without the fortitude and resilience of our pioneering members, we would not have the world class standard of intensive care services we have today. #ANZICS50years
