VOICES: Voices of ICU survivors: An ESICM-SCCM initiative

Join us today, 5 October, 12:00 – 14:30 CEST

An ICU stay can be a challenging experience, and the journey to recovery after surviving critical illness often remains difficult, with many patients facing persistent challenges.

It is crucial to explore and understand the firsthand experiences of critical illness survivors after ICU discharge, as this insight will help us propose interventions to address these challenges more effectively. Beyond medical care, emotional support is essential—not just for ICU patients, but also for their families, caregivers, and friends.

Let’s listen to them. Join our webinar and hear directly from ICU survivors and their family members as they share their experiences.
