We will hopefully cover all things ICU not just from the patient perspective but also for the numerous fields involved in caring for a patient in ICU as well as helping them recover afterwards. Myself and any guests I have will speak as candidly about our experience in ICU regardless of what side of the experience we come from. My hope is this will dispel any myths or misunderstandings on what it is like to be in ICU. I was in ICU for 3 weeks, 2 1/2 in a medically induced coma, I suffer from Sepsis and ARDS while in ICU and a whole host of psychological and physical issues afterwards.

She is also the National Project Director for Wellbeing at the Intensive Care Society as well as being a trustee for ICU Steps a Charity that supports the creation of peer to peer support groups for ex-patients of ICU, their family and carers. Our discussion in this episode is a general one about Psychology from a seasoned professional in Dr Highfield and myself a person taking their first steps on the path to becoming a professional psychologist. It is an interesting discussion covering a range of topics including the role of and importance of the Psychologist in the ICU team to the patient and family and to the ICU staff. We also touch on the importance of good mental health and support for the staff. As we all know staff health is as important as the patient as healthy staff are able to provide the best care. Please join us in our discussion about one of the major issues in most ICU but also is a big problem in other settings too Delirium. It Is an area of passion for Dr Highfield and myself and we could have talked for hours or days on the topic. It is such an extremely important topic and I am so glad I can keep talking to people who are extremely passionate about reducing and removing Delirium from the ICU world.
