Survival from critical care is increasing (Zimmerman et al, 2013) and there is now mounting evidence to demonstrate the challenging recovery trajectory many patients and caregivers face following a critical care admission (Herridge et al, 2011; Wade et al, 2012; McPeake et al, 2016).

As a result, many clinicians have implemented follow-up and aftercare to support this vulnerable group of patients (Mehlhorn et al, 2014). Strategies include formal outpatient follow-up (multidisciplinary and nurse led), and formal and informal peer support groups, each of which can take a variety of forms (Cuthbertson et al, 2009; McPeake et al, 2017; 2019).

There is currently limited evidence of the benefits of these services for patients or caregivers (Schofield-Robinson et al, 2018) and, to date, no research has explicitly sought to understand the effect of aftercare on the critical care multidisciplinary team.
