While the transport and retrieval of critically ill children has been extensively researched and audited, nurse-led repatriation and retrieval of non-critical children and neonates has only recently become a full-time nursing position in Northern Ireland. In January 2020, the Northern Ireland Specialist Transport and Retrieval (NISTAR) service developed a nurse-led transport team for this patient population and created a new role - the non-critical paediatric transport nurse - which incorporates the skills of a children's nurse. The aim of the service is to transport children and neonates safely between the regional paediatric unit and local district general hospital paediatric wards in Northern Ireland. The nurse-led service also transfers children with non-critical complex cardiac conditions between paediatric wards in Northern Ireland and the national centre for paediatric cardiology and cardiothoracic surgery in Dublin, Ireland. This article describes the role of the nurse-led transport team and discusses clinical governance, training requirements and the safe transfer of children with complex cardiac conditions. The NISTAR team won the child health category at the 2021 RCN Nursing Awards.
虽然对危重症儿童的转运和接回已进行了广泛研究和审核，但由护士主导的非危重症儿童及新生儿的遣返和接回工作，直到最近才在北爱尔兰成为一个全职护理岗位。2020年1月，北爱尔兰专科转运和接回（NISTAR）服务部门为这类患者群体组建了一支由护士主导的转运团队，并设立了一个新职位——非危重症儿科转运护士，该职位融合了儿童护士的技能。该服务的目的是将北爱尔兰地区儿科病房和当地地区综合医院儿科病房之间的儿童及新生儿安全转运。由护士主导的服务还负责在北爱尔兰的儿科病房与爱尔兰都柏林的国家儿科心脏病学和心胸外科中心之间转运患有非危重症复杂心脏疾病的儿童。本文介绍了由护士主导的转运团队的职责，并讨论了临床治理、培训要求以及患有复杂心脏疾病儿童的安全转运。NISTAR团队在2021年皇家护理学院护理奖中荣获儿童健康类别奖项。
