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.
Our Neurosurgical Intensive Care Unit has 16 intensive care beds and eight high-dependency beds. We care for patients with severe conditions affecting the brain or spinal cord who require continuous, round-the-clock monitoring and specialist treatment. The rooms are equipped with monitoring and life-support devices tailored to each patient’s neurological and general condition. We mainly admit patients with stroke, traumatic brain or spinal cord injury, or a brain tumour. These conditions may require surgery, breathing support and close neurological monitoring. Every patient receives personalised care that is adapted as their condition changes. Care is provided by a multidisciplinary team of consultant anaesthetists and intensivists, neurosurgeons, nurses, healthcare assistants, physiotherapists, dietitians, a social worker, nurse managers and a psychologist. Together, we provide specialist treatment, neurological monitoring, compassionate support and help for families throughout the stay.
