Support for patients

The intensive care unit has been running focus group for many years. Listening to patients’ experiences of critical care enables us to make changes to our service and develop specific information for patients and their families, particularly when they are discharged from the unit.

Feedback from the focus group has resulted in a number of projects that have been developed to ensure patients and their relatives feel reassured and safe following their critical illness.

We have recently introduced a psychology service to the ICU at Chelsea and Westminster; please speak to a member of staff for more information.
