This webinar series is developed and informed by the Ontario Critical Care Clinical Practice Rounds (OC3PR) committee of critical care providers including Dr. Neill Adhikari, Dr. Bernard Lawless, Dr. David Neilipovitz, Dr. Josée Thériault and Dr. Michael Sullivan. Hosted by CCSO, the rounds will provide an opportunity for multidisciplinary critical care teams to come together to share leading practices and engage in discussions with their colleagues, across Ontario’s critical care system, to inform the care of critically ill patients with an emphasis on COVID-19 patients. The series will be moderated by Dr. David Neilipovitz, a critical care intensivist in Ottawa with support from CCSO and the OC3PR committee.

**We invite all multidisciplinary ICU teams to participate and ask that you please share this invite with your colleagues who are involved with critical care. To further share key learning points highlighted during each webinar, we encourage teams to schedule time to debrief and discuss how the information will inform or be incorporated into practices in your hospital. The webinars will also be recorded and made available on the CCSO website along with supporting documentation.**
