There are 23 paediatric intensive care units (PICU) in the UK and 19 of these have a retrieval team responsible for the safe and uneventful transfer of critically ill children from referring hospitals. There are two established PICUs in University Hospitals of Leicester (UHL) NHS Trust that work as a team. In 2001, a transfer service was introduced to support the UHL PICU retrieval service and the referring district general hospitals. At the time of writing this article there was no other PICU in the UK providing a dedicated paediatric clinical transport nurse service, whose main responsibility is the safe transfer of infants and children back to their local hospitals. This article will discuss the development of this service and the benefits to PICU and referral hospitals.
英国有23个儿科重症监护病房（PICU），其中19个设有转运团队，负责将危重症儿童从转诊医院安全、顺利地转运出来。莱斯特大学医院国民保健服务信托基金（UHL）有两个成熟的PICU，它们作为一个团队开展工作。2001年，引入了一项转运服务，以支持UHL的PICU转运服务及转诊的地区综合医院。在撰写本文时，英国没有其他PICU提供专门的儿科临床转运护士服务，其主要职责是将婴幼儿和儿童安全转运回当地医院。本文将讨论这项服务的发展以及对PICU和转诊医院的益处。
