Consultant in Intensive Care and Anaesthetics, Dr Andy Foo joins Sam on the podcast to discuss an essential topic for any budding Medical SpR on-call and that is escalating the sickest patients in the hospital to the highest levels of care. Andy gives a brilliant insight into his thought process as an ICU consultant and also his best advice to take on board when we escalate referrals as the Medical SpR on-call.
