Peter Brindley will always proudly describe himself, first and foremost, as a full-time Critical Care Physician. He works at the University of Alberta Hospital, Edmonton and is a Co-director of its E. Garner King Intensive Care Unit. His clinical duties involve care of the critically-ill in both General Systems Intensive Care Unit and Neuro Sciences Intensive Care Unit.
Academically, Peter is an Associate Professor with the University of Alberta. His interests and publications include cardiopulmonary resuscitation and sepsis, but now centre on simulation, crisis management, and human factors during acute care. Peter is a founding member of the Canadian Resuscitation Institute and its current vice-chair. He is former Medical Lead for Simulation for Alberta Health Services which he helped expand into one of the largest simulation programs in Canada. Peter is also a prior Residency Program Director and a prior advisor to the Canadian Patient Safety Institute. Peter’s greatest achievement remains two gorgeous little kids, in whom he delights. Neither of these wize critics seem to care about what titles he may or may not hold. However, they do expect him to be doing something important if he is away from them.
