To all researchers, I extend this challenge: be as brave and vulnerable in your engagement as those who survive a critical care experience. We entrust you with our stories and our scars. Your task is to meet that courage with humility, curiosity, and commitment. If we do so together, research will not only generate knowledge - it will foster trust, equity, and healing.’ Belinda MacLeod-Smith (ICU caregiver).

Where we describe the top ten priorities for future research established with a systematic review & meta-analysis, two expert panel meetings, and a two-round modified Delphi method #PPI

Ultimately, We don’t look at patients perceptions of recovery well enough - and often those with severe disability perceive their recovery more positively than we expect… the disability paradox (this is really important) #Lives2025 #criticalcare

Well done!!! Look forward to seeing this in print 😍
