Bridging guidance for Critical Care during the restoration of NHS Services
22nd May 2020
The Faculty of Intensive Care Medicine has released Bridging guidance for Critical Care during the restoration of NHS Services.
The Faculty recognised the need to provide guidance as we move into the next phase and the importance of initiating and managing this phase in a methodical and realistic way.
This guidance is an evolving document that will need to be modified as the situation changes. It was produced in consultation with the Critical Care Leadership Forum. It has also been reviewed by the NHS Commissioning’s Adult Critical Care Clinical Reference Group.
