The National Outreach Forum was founded back in 2004 by a group of enthusiastic professionals involved with the first Critical Care Outreach Teams. Since then it has evolved and acquired a more formal structure, has hosted several conferences and study days and has been involved in the production of national guidelines and standards.
Purpose and Mission Statement
To provide a representative forum for Critical Care Outreach Service providers and recipients across the country.
To optimise the quality of the patient’s treatment, care and experience.
To meet the Department of Health’s objectives for critical and acute care, and to ensure there is a strategic approach to delivery of Critical Care Outreach Services nationally, which reflects that of the National Strategy and those of the Critical Care Networks.
To underpin Critical Care Outreach practice and service development with the best evidence where it is available.
From December 2018, the National Outreach Forum has become a Registered Charity (no 1181360)
