For many people, particularly those who have experienced a prolonged ICU stay, a variety of physical and/or psychological health problems may persist for weeks and months after going home.

A very generous donation from the Collins family in memory of Kirsten Anne Collins has funded a website dedicated to life after ICU so that other patients and families can gain a better understanding of ICU and how it affects everyone and hopefully make their time a little less traumatic.

The site has been developed by Intensive Care doctors, nursing and allied health professionals, as well as former patients who share their personal Intensive Care stories.
