Acute hospitals may have a critical care outreach team comprised normally of registered nurses (and sometimes other roles) with significant clinical experience in intensive care or the emergency department and therefore expert at assessing, monitoring and treating unwell and deteriorating patients.

Critical care outreach teams may also provide ongoing monitoring for unwell patients on wards and provide advice and support to nursing and medical staff.

Outreach teams may also carry out other technical roles too, for example, monitoring patient‐controlled analgesia.
