Diabetes can sometimes unfortunately mean that people need to receive care on an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) in hospital.
This study is part of a project working with patients, families, and healthcare staff to develop tools to help Intensive Care Units support patients and families, and better provide care to people, including those with diabetes who become seriously ill.
Researchers at Hull York Medical School would like to speak to people with lived experience as:
◦ A patient in the Intensive Care Unit who was at high risk of dying
◦ A family member of a patient in the Intensive Care Unit who was at high risk of dying
◦ A family member of a patient who died in the Intensive Care Unit
They invite you to consider taking part in a small number of online focus groups to tell them about your experiences getting the support you needed in the intensive care unit. There will be an option for one-to-one online/telephone interviews if preferred.
The researchers would like to include everybody who would like to take part, so they have interpreters ready to support.
