To mark #ICURehabDay24, this year we are launching the very first #ICURehabChampionships.
This two-month event will be an opportunity for the fantastic ICU rehab professionals around the country to highlight the phenomenal rehabilitation that takes place in across all rehab environments, from ICU all the way to home.
Join us by arranging events to showcase and celebrate your brilliant patients, loved ones and colleagues. The #ICURehaChampionships is open to everyone across the recovery journey after critical illness and we are keen to see your #ICURehabChampions!
How can you get involved?
Here are some ideas as to how ICU professionals can integrate the #ICURehabChampionships into your clinical team:
- Run your own Championships event
- Celebrate a rehabilitation goal
- Mark the brilliance of outstanding team members
#ICURehabChampionships Events could be...
- Balloon volleyball
- Connect Four championships
- Beach ball football
- Highest bubble tower
- Blow football
- Foam darts
- Loudest hum
- Triathlon - Shower, bike and walk (within 24 hours)
- Pentathlon - Shower, bike, walk, Nerf gun target and Ballon Volleyball (within 48 hours)
- Long Distance Events - 1km Bike, 5km Bike, 100m Walk
...but we can't wait to see the genius events you come up with.
It is our intention that events are tailored to patients, units and functional ability to ensure that as many #ICURehabChampions are awarded as possible.
Medals can be awarded across the trajectory of recovery, ICU, Ward, rehab and home.
