Critical Care Outreach
National Outreach Forum (NOrF)The National Outreach Forum (NOrF) was founded back in 2004 by a group of enthusiastic professionals involved with the first Critical Care Outreach Teams. Since then it has evolved into a multi-professional interest group that seeks to promote excellence in the care of acutely unwell patients. NOrF provides a representative forum for Critical Care Outreach Service providers and recipients across the country who strive to optimise the quality of the acutely unwell patient’s treatment, care and experience.
