A UK online study is looking for participants to help design better support pathways for the family and friends of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients.

The research is exploring how families are supported before, during and after a loved one’s critical illness, with the aim of improving communication, practical help and emotional support.

You may be able to take part if you are:
• An ICU patient now discharged home
• A family member or friend of an ICU patient
• A bereaved family member or friend of an ICU patient
• A healthcare professional working in ICU, hospital, community or primary care

Participants will take part in up to six online meetings to share experiences and ideas that could help shape future support services.

Survey for Parents and Carers: Autism Diagnosis Experiences

If you are a parent or carer of a child who has been through the autism diagnosis pathway and would like to share your experience, you can access the survey here:

Thank you to anyone who is willing to take part.
