Welcome to ICUsteps - the support team for ex-ICU patients

Have you or someone close to you been treated in Intensive Care?

ICUsteps is a support group set up by ex-patients and family members to help those who have been unfortunate enough to suffer a life threatening injury or illness, to come to terms with their experience and find support and re-assurance in the long recovery period. We know too how difficult it can be for carers and family members at such an uncertain time.

Intensive Care - A guide for patients and relatives

ICUsteps booklet

ICUsteps are pleased to announce the publication of ‘Intensive Care - A guide for patients and relatives’. This 32 page information booklet has been produced by ICUsteps in consultation with intensive care patients and professionals and with the support and endorsement of the Department of Health. The booklet has also been given the Plain English Campaign's 'Crystal Mark' for clarity.

Although some hospitals have developed information leaflets this information isn't universally available or provided with the depth of information that patients and relatives need. For this reason, ICUsteps has produced a booklet covering all the stages of critical illness, from admission through to rehabilitation.
