Welcome to the Lancashire and South Cumbria Critical Care Network website.
This website aims to develop a community of knowledge surrounding the work in progress for the improvement of Critical Care services.
The Network is focused on facilitating quality care for the acutely ill across Primary, Secondary, Tertiary and Independent care organisations.
Through collaborative working with commissioners, providers and users of critical care, we aim to review service needs and make improvements where they are required ensuring patient focused delivery.
“Critical care services are an essential part of the care pathway of many hospital patients and need to be fully integrated into whole hospital services to ensure best patient outcome” – Quality Critical Care 2005
To this end the Network is committed to sharing and promoting best practice, clinical and managerial, ensuring the best possible outcomes for the critically ill patient.
