Abstract
Stress hyperglycaemia in critical patients can be fatal, but its management in intensive care units (ICUs) has not yet been standardised [1]. Critical care professionals are key stakeholders in research for the quality improvement of clinical practice within the ICU [2]. The GlyCon study is a multiple methods study which includes a survey to professionals, conducted in seven ICUs within a UK-based ICU network.
