Abstract:
Interfacility transport is a necessary part of hospital care. Neonates often need to access specialist input at different sites necessitating a reliable transfer process. Services have evolved significantly over the last ten years to meet this need. This followed the recognition that ad hoc arrangements were unreliable and often unsafe.
