- Summary:
- Increasingly the need is recognised for safe and effective care of children being transferred for specialist services. Whether a premature baby or a critically ill child is being transported, specialist skills and knowledge are required. This book, based on a highly popular course from the University Hospitals of Leicester, covers the processes involved in transporting sick children and neonates. The book is also the coursebook for NEOSTAR, which will be run by the Advanced Life Support Group. This tried and tested, practical guide is ideal for doctors, nurses and other health care workers who may be involved with organising transport services or who care for babies and children during transfer.
