OPTICAL Study

For young people with complex health needs, moving from paediatric to adult intensive care can be a particularly vulnerable time, especially as there is not currently enough known about what makes this transition smoother for these patients and their families. OPTICAL is a research study aiming to establish evidence that can support the development of clearer guidelines on ICU transition and hence improve the experiences of patients and their families.
