The Critical Care Unit (also called the Intensive Care Unit or ICU) is a specialist part of the hospital. Patients come here when they need close checks and treatments that a normal ward cannot give safely. Some people will be booked to come to Critical Care after a procedure. Others will come unexpectedly because they have developed a severe illness.
At UCLH we have four general Critical Care units – two at University College Hospital, one at Grafton Way Building and one at Westmoreland Street Hospital. We also have a specialist Neuro Critical Care Unit at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery.
This section is for patients and visitors to the Critical Care Units at University College Hospital (T03/T06), Grafton Way Building, and Westmoreland Street. If your relative is in neurocritical care at NHNN, please read Neurocritical Care information at NHNN.
