NHS and Care Volunteers Responders urgently call upon compassionate individuals to volunteer their time in collecting and delivering food shopping and prescriptions to vulnerable people in their local communities.
Volunteers can make a world of difference by ensuring access to fresh groceries and essential items for those facing health challenges, limited mobility, hospital waits, recent hospital discharge, and those struggling to shop unaided. The flexible volunteering program, is managed through the GoodSAM smartphone app, allows Volunteer Responders to positively impact the health and wellbeing of people in their area at convenient times.
The call for volunteers is more urgent than ever, as the demand for community support persists. Royal Voluntary Service encourages individuals who can lend a helping hand to step up and help their communities through volunteering. Through these diverse opportunities, volunteers can play a vital role in supporting the well-being and care of those in need, fostering a stronger and more resilient community.

Guideline on multimodal rehabilitation for patients with post-intensive care syndrome - Critical CareBackground Intensive Care Unit (ICU) survivors often experience several impairments in their physical, cognitive, and psychological health status, which are labeled as post-intensive care syndrome (PICS). The aim of this work is to develop a multidisciplinary and -professional guideline for the rehabilitative therapy of PICS. Methods A multidisciplinary/-professional task force of 15 healthcare professionals applied a structured, evidence-based approach to address 10 scientific questions. For each PICO-question (Population, Intervention, Comparison, and Outcome), best available evidence was identified. Recommendations were rated as “strong recommendation”, “recommendation” or “therapy option”, based on Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation principles. In addition, evidence gaps were identified. Results The evidence resulted in 12 recommendations, 4 therapy options, and one statement for the prevention or treatment of PICS. Recommendations: early mobilization, motor training, and nutrition/dysphagia management should be performed. Delirium prophylaxis focuses on behavioral interventions. ICU diaries can prevent/treat psychological health issues like anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorders. Early rehabilitation approaches as well as long-term access to specialized rehabilitation centers are recommended. Therapy options include additional physical rehabilitation interventions. Statement: A prerequisite for the treatment of PICS are the regular and repeated assessments of the physical, cognitive and psychological health in patients at risk for or having PICS. Conclusions PICS is a variable and complex syndrome that requires an individual multidisciplinary, and multiprofessional approach. Rehabilitation of PICS should include an assessment and therapy of motor-, cognitive-, and psychological health impairments.
