Survivors of critical illness frequently experience impairment of cognition, mental health and physical function known as post-intensive care syndrome (PICS). The provision of a follow-up service for post-Critical Care patients is considered a standard of care in the UK and other developed countries globally.
An ICU follow up clinic is proposed to assess and manage the complex needs of these patients after discharge to the community. The Advisory Committee (AC) is an important resource to assist in guiding the work and direction of the Critical Care Recovery Program Shared Care (SC) project. AC members will provide local advice and context, review new documents to ensure receptibility, serve as ambassadors, and encourage public involvement in the planning process from their community.
Members will act as a sounding board to assist the project team in reviewing key plan concepts and public engagement approaches. AC members are asked to serve and attend AC meetings for the duration of the planning process (approximately 6 months).
It is anticipated that there will be 2-4 AC meetings in total throughout the planning process, held via a Zoom link.
