Critical Care Follow Up Service

The role of the Critical Care Follow Up Team, comprised of critical care nurses and therapists, is to support you and your relatives when you are discharged to the ward and when you are at home.

We know that patients often cannot remember their stay in critical care, where possible a patient diary is kept. If you received a diary and you have any remaining questions about your stay, please speak with the Critical Care Follow-up Team.

We will invite you back to the Critical Care follow-up clinic if you have had a prolonged stay with us. The clinic offers you an opportunity to discuss your critical care stay and any concerns or worries you may have about your recovery.

An appointment is offered 2-3 months after you have been discharged home. If you have not received a follow up appointment and would like one, or you or your family have further questions, please contact the Follow-up Team.
