PICU Family Support Forum

PICU Family Support Forum - UK wide network for those supporting families on PICU. We meet to share ideas and research, and support each other

Critical Care Medicine is not just about survivorship it’s about caring, nourishing & supporting patients through often traumatic times

How on earth ICUs think they can manage this without therapists is beyond me

We need to seriously invest in our #ICU #AHP resource

Recently I read an article about how important small acts of kindness were for a mother and her prem baby. One of the things mentioned early on was how nurses had made them a personalised bed-sign. @PCCUatNCH each patient has personalised bunting, as well as everything else. 💕
