The aim of the research is to explore the knowledge and perceptions of PICU long term outcomes and models of follow-up care. The reason for this is so that we can determine the awareness of post-intensive care syndrome – paediatrics, and what are the best interventions to support children and families post-PICU. This will hopefully minimise the development of new morbidities and improve the quality of life. 

The survey has now closed and analyses are underway.
