When you are well enough to leave hospital, the team will work with you to identify what support you require when you go home. This may include provision of equipment, care, ongoing rehabilitation or further medical investigations.
The team will make the required referrals on your behalf and a discharge summary will be sent electronically to your GP.
Depending on where you live you may also be offered an appointment in a critical care follow up clinic where you can discuss your concerns.
For specific information regarding what follow up post critical care stay is available please speak to someone from your health board for more information. They will also be able to provide you with more tailored advice if required regarding your recovery and condition. Or see your local health boards website for more information.
Once you are home, if you have ongoing worries or concerns and are not seeing someone about it, you can ask to be referred at any point. Your GP or local team can refer you to for example an outpatient or community or specialist services team.
