Kristina’s role within NAPICU is to establish and develop international contacts with inpatient acute / emergency psychiatry / psychiatry intensive care (PIC) and to share information about NAPICU activities internationally.  International wards and individuals are welcome to become members of NAPICU, and could lead to the development of “International Affiliates of NAPICU”. Kristina has developed a questionnaire which has been circulated to 30 countries to find out more about practice and resources available in PIC wards in different services world wide, to help to develop further collaborations. Any inidividual working in inpatient acute / emergency psychiatry / PIC should contact her.
