ICU of the Future

    Researchers are working to change that. ABC Health & Wellbeing story by Jennifer Leake.

  • Is the future of intensive care more patient-friendly?

    Hospitals are great for people who are critically ill but not so great if you want to get a good night's sleep. And that's a major problem for patients in intensive care, where bright lights and loud noises can drive patients mad.

  • All in the Mind podcast

    It’s a condition which affects some patients who end up in intensive care … and can continue after they’re released from hospital.
