https://www.datadictionary.wales.nhs.uk/#!WordDocuments/criticalcaredatasetccds2.htm

A good supplementary to hospital inpatient dataset (PEDW), covers the period of critical care patient received, including intensity of care (e.g. bed levels, organ support), treatment specialty, and outcome.

This dataset requires additional governance approvals from the data provider before data can be provisioned to a SAIL project.
