Our commitments to supporting you:

You or someone close to you has just been admitted to intensive care.

LifeMapp was designed to guide you through every stage of an intensive care stay and provide all the information you need. Conceived as a compass, the app helps you find your bearings and move towards returning to everyday life. Developed by the One O One Endowment Fund, LifeMapp is available free of charge to units that request it.

Welcome

Welcome to our Medical Intensive Care Unit.

Our team provides intensive care around the clock, seven days a week, for adults who require continuous monitoring and attention. We do everything we can to offer both medical and compassionate support to our patients and their families.

A psychologist is available to listen and support you throughout the hospital stay, particularly when children visit.

Our multidisciplinary team is here to listen and support you at every stage of this journey. Please speak to us whenever you have a question or need guidance.

In addition to this electronic diary, a paper diary is available in which you can write. A visitor information booklet and a children’s booklet explain the environment in which your loved one will be cared for during their stay.

Our unit takes part in research groups working to improve care for intensive care patients.
