Giving families confidence after PICU 💙

When children leave the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), their families often face uncertainty about what to expect during recovery. Thanks to the Matthew Scriver PICU Nurses Scholarship, Alkisty Long developed a program that gives children and families the guidance, education, and support they need after critical illness.

“Families now receive the guidance and care they need, ensuring the long-term health and wellbeing of children recovering from the most critical illnesses,” Alkisty said.

Through tailored assessments and proactive support, the program helps clinical teams identify potential complications early, while families feel informed, empowered, and reassured during recovery. Being part of this work has been incredibly rewarding for Alkisty:

“Knowing that my work has helped families feel supported, informed, and empowered makes me feel proud and motivated. It is deeply satisfying to see the difference that structured follow-up can make in reducing stress, improving recovery, and giving children the best possible outcomes after critical illness.”
