The decision making and transfer of critically ill adults to their preferred place of death
The Intensive Care Society is pleased to share the launch of new guidance for “The Decision Making and Transfer of Critically Ill Adults to Their Preferred Place of Death” which is designed to support healthcare professionals in navigating one of the most sensitive and important decisions in end-of-life care.
Developed by a multi-professional team from intensive care and palliative medicine, this guidance provides a clear and compassionate framework to help teams consider and facilitate transfers for critically ill patients who express a wish to die in their preferred place - whether at home or another meaningful setting.
