Our booklet, "Intensive care: a guide for patients and relatives" was first published in 2009 and we'll soon have shipped 100,000 copies to ICUs in the UK.

We've had lots of feedback from ICU staff telling us how well they've been received and how helpful patients and their relatives have found them. We'd like to hear from patients and relatives directly though.

If you're a patient or a relative and were given a copy of our booklet, what difference did it make for you?

For those who haven't seen our booklet, it's available at icusteps.org/assets/files/I...

Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,

Peter
