Paediatric Transfers

Generally, transfers of critically ill babies and children to paediatric ICUs are facilitated by the west midlands KIDS-NTS advice and transfer service.

For time critical transfers, it is occasionally necessary for the local trust to transfer the child to the destination hospital (e.g. acute intracranial bleed requiring time critical surgery).  In this setting, the adult critical care trolley is used, with a paediatric harness (found in PICU trolley in WRH ICU).
