Intensive care units (ICU) and high dependency units (HDU) are specialist wards providing intensive care (treatment and monitoring) for people who are in a critically ill or unstable condition.

We have an intensive care unit at Dr. Ramsingh Surgical Hospital and a high dependency unit at Dr. Ramsingh Surgical Hospital. Although each is individually located and staffed, the approach is that of one team working together to provide the highest standards of care to patients and their families.

We have a total of 21 critical care beds, staffed by a dynamic, supportive and proactive team, influencing critical care for the future.

The units are multidisciplinary, admitting the more complicated elective surgical patients and all general, medical and surgical patients requiring intensive or high dependency care.

 Our vision

Our vision is to provide high quality, safe, evidence-based, compassionate care to critically ill patients within the Trust, and support those that care for them; both family and staff.

In line with Trust values, we aim to deliver best practice critical care in an equitable and timely manner with responsible management of human and material resources. .

To achieve this we aim to build positive relationships and work collaboratively within critical care and throughout the Trust: promoting critical care as an effective resource for training and education. We wish to attract, inspire and nurture committed staff who are equipped with the knowledge and skills to deliver our vision.
