We all know that leaving hospital is only the start of recovery and we need to have support and rehabilitation to complete our recovery. ICUsteps is campaigning to have government ensure that all ICU patients have access to this crucial step to help us do more than survive, but to get our lives back.

Please support us by signing out Parliamentary Petition: petition.parliament.uk/peti...

Find out more at icusteps.org/rehab and read our open letter to the Secretary of State for Health.

Please share, email and Tweet using the hashtag #RehabIsCritical

Could this be sent to all NHS trusts? Staff would fully support this. I am a NHS front line ICU ventilated Covid survivor still off work since 15th December when first diagnosed.

I went to sign but it closed 6 months ago. I’d be interested in the outcome. While not in the UK, these support programs are much needed here in Australia.
