The service has been established to support and provide high quality care and/or advice for critically sick or injured children and their families from the first point of contact with secondary care and during their transportation to an appropriate PICU. NWTS provides a single point of contact for referring hospitals with consultant-led specialist advice on stabilisation, transport, and triaging facilities for all referrals at all times. The service receives approximately 1,400 referrals and undertakes approximately 500 transfers annually from the 29 Local Hospitals and Urgent Care Centres in the region into the two tertiary hospitals within the North West. NWTS works closely with both the referring hospitals and the two providers of paediatric intensive care in the region, and is part of the Paediatric Critical Care, Children’s Major Trauma and Congenital Cardiac Networks in region.
