Rehabilitation after critical illness in adults

What should happen while you are on the ward

While you are on the ward, you should have another health check (short clinical assessment) to identify any physical or psychological problems.

If the health check shows that you could benefit from more structured support, or if this was identified earlier, you should then have a more detailed health check (comprehensive clinical assessment) to identify your current rehabilitation needs.

Your healthcare team should talk to you about your rehabilitation goals and your rehabilitation programme, both of which should take into account the results of your health checks and be tailored to your individual needs.
