Dr Mike Osborn (left) and Dr Rowan Hardy (right) are pictured with the President, Dr Ewen Forrest.

Another superb and well illustrated talk about a fire in the Bath Intensive Care Unit, the most interesting part being the discussion by Dr Mike Osborn about its psychological consequences, principally to the staff. This talk appropriately had just as much to offer the generalists as well as the intensivists because very few of the latter seemed to be present. This was unfortunate with the society paying tribute to Dr John Harrison, a consultant anaesthetist and intensivist at Aintree University Hospital who very sadly died last month.
