This website hosts a series of animations to support understanding of intensive care for friends and relatives of patients admitted there. The animations are designed to inform, reduce social exclusion and help overcome the communication barriers on ICU – a problem made worse by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The animations have been created by Explain my Procedure Ltd and endorsed by the Intensive Care Society. They are about 5 minutes long and available in a range of languages and can be watched an unlimited number of times.
