Follow-up clinic survey

A national survey of intensive care follow-up clinics  was performed last year, the results of which were published in October's edition of Aneasthesia. A  questionnaire was sent to 298 intensive care units in the UK to determine the number of follow-up clinics  and details of current follow-up practice. Responses were received from 266 intensive care units, an 89% response rate. Eighty units (30%) ran a follow-up  clinic. Only 47 (59%) of these clinics were funded. Of those intensive care units without a follow-up clinic,  158 (88%) cited 'financial constraints' as the reason. Over half of the follow-up clinics (44 clinics, 55%) were nurse-led, and the majority (56 clinics, 77%) only routinely review patients treated on the intensive care unit for 3 or 4 days or longer. Nearly half of the follow-up clinics (39 clinics, 49%) have pre-negotiated access to at least one other out-patient service.

However, a wealth of additional data was generated by respondants to the survey, detailing their own personal experiences of providing ICU follow-up services or their thoughts on the development of such services in the UK at the present time.
