The group makes recommendations to the Critical Care Network Board on rehabilitation and follow up services development required in Wales in the short, medium and long term (based upon the FICM's Life After Critical Illness guide and NICE guidelines and standards).
The group has:
- Developed an all-Wales multi-professional service specification for critical care follow-up and rehabilitation services for local adoption and implementation and will audit follow-up clinic attendance throughout Wales
- Developed Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) and Patient Reported Experience Measures (PREMs)
- Built upon the University Hospital of Wales 'Keeping Me Well' website to make it Wales-wide. This website provides information on critical care recovery for patients and families
- Agreed a rehabilitation prescription to be used.
Ongoing work includes the development of an education programme and peer review of Allied Health Professionals.
