Abstract
Advanced clinical practitioners (ACPs) specializing in the transfer of critically ill children began training at the South Thames Retrieval Service in London in 2003. Over 20 years, this model has been emulated across the United Kingdom. The aim of this study was to explore the national contribution of ACPs in paediatric critical care transport services in the United Kingdom. This national survey found that nine of the 12 regional services employed ACPs. The proportion of transfers led by ACPs ranged from 10% to 64%, suggesting that they make a valuable contribution to the transport of critically ill children between district general hospitals and paediatric intensive care units. The ACPs have expanded their scope practice and now fulfill the role of lead practitioner in the transport of critically ill children. There is scope to increase their contribution across retrieval services in the United Kingdom.
期刊介绍：
Nursing in Critical Care is an international peer-reviewed journal covering any aspect of critical care nursing practice, research, education or management. Critical care nursing is defined as the whole spectrum of skills, knowledge and attitudes utilised by practitioners in any setting where adults or children, and their families, are experiencing acute and critical illness. Such settings encompass general and specialist hospitals, and the community. Nursing in Critical Care covers the diverse specialities of critical care nursing including surgery, medicine, cardiac, renal, neurosciences, haematology, obstetrics, accident and emergency, neonatal nursing and paediatrics.
Papers published in the journal normally fall into one of the following categories:
-research reports
-literature reviews
-developments in practice, education or management
-reflections on practice
