🚶♀️➡️ A simple walk out the front door turned patient Jane's life upside down, but now she's using her experience to support others who have ongoing challenges following an ICU stay.
While the reason behind her fall is unknown, Jane was found at the bottom of her steep driveway unconscious, and she woke from a coma ten days later in the Redcliffe ICU.
Suffering internal injuries, multiple-organ sepsis, pneumonia and kidney failure, Jane unsurprisingly developed Post-Intensive Care Syndrome (PICS), a condition that can affect patients physically, mentally and emotionally after they have been discharged from the ICU. 😲❤️🩹
Jane has turned her pain into power and is now helping enhance ICU research at Redcliffe Hospital by encouraging others to join her at the upcoming Walk4PICS event on Saturday 27 September.
💐 ICU Follow-Up Clinic CNC Laura shares that recovery from critical illness continues long after discharge from hospital, knowing that some patients can experience PICS for many years.
"It's personally and professionally rewarding to be able to support patients on their recovery journey which is often invisible," Laura shares.
"The Walk4PICS is a great international initiative to raise awareness for this often-debilitating condition."

What a fabulous initiative! ❤️
Well done Laura!
Thanks Jane and Laura! I had PICS too and it is definitely something that needs more awareness 🙌
Great work, well done Jane
Yay Jane!!
Well done Jane
