Grateful to Emily Buder for her upcoming feature in The Atlantic to highlight the impact of surviving ICU. Critical care may save our lives, but we need support and #icurehab to give those lives back to us. #COVIDー19 will leave survivors struggling without help, as ICUsteps know

Like your predecessors who founded #ICU the 1950s from the polio epidemic, this is our chance to make #ICURehab a core of the pathway and not an optional extra. Survival is not enough. Giving our lives back to us must be the measure of a successful outcome.

Think staying home is hard? Try risking your life in ICU working 12 hour shifts, days after day, wrapped in layers of PPE and coping with the loss of half your patients. They’re doing their part. You do yours.

theatlantic.com/video/archive/… Thankyou Emily Buder and The Atlantic for this amazing work capturing what it is to be critically ill. This is what ICU survivorship looks like. This is why we founded @icusteps. This is why we need support, #icu_rehab and awareness. Please ReTweet

Delighted to see ICUsteps PR on the launch of FICMNews position statement and guidance for patients following the pandemic. Survival is not enough. Support and #ICURehab must now be made standard in the #ICU care pathway. icusteps.org/home/recovery-… ficm.ac.uk/news-events-ed…

Happy videos of COVID survivors being applauded leaving hospital is not the end of their journey. It’s the start and they’re being abandoned to face it alone. Survival is not enough. We need support and #icurehab to get our lives back. Listen to ICUsteps FICMNews British Psychological Society

Just 24 hours left in the #Artandco #covid19 charity auction. Last chance to visit artandco.net, get involved and help front line charities including ICUsteps. This amazing fundraising effort could fund development of our icu patient diary app. Get bidding!

Amazing! Over 1000 signatures to ICUsteps #RehabIsCritical petition in one day. Those of us who know critical illness understand that #ICUrehab is essential to get our lives back. The public need to understand too, and Matt Hancock icusteps.org/rehab

icusteps.org/rehab Tomorrow is the 18th birthday of my 2nd life, thanks to #ICU. After 6 weeks in hospital with a TBI and SCI, I escaped with a stolen walker in my pyjamas. That's PICS. That's #delirium. That's why #RehabIsCritical. #ICUrehab for all. ICUsteps Hugh Pym

fibrehop is there an issue in the Milton Keynes area? I have been disconnected this morning and unable to reconnect. Your service status doesn't show any issues.
