Key Focus of Study

Enormous numbers of people worldwide are experiencing social isolation during illness at home, or without family support in hospital. We know that after experiencing intensive care units (ICU), people need support to cope with the trauma and physical impacts. We don’t know what additional needs people will have after being socially isolated at home during illness. We need to investigate the impacts so that we can recommend interventions and services that are likely to be needed, and optimise access.
