Our team move premature babies to Neonatal Units at hospitals across the entire North West of England
Not all Neonatal Units are equipped to deal with certain conditions, that’s where we come in. It takes specialist skills and equipment to be able to safely move premature babies from one hospital to another
Our team of Doctors, Advanced Neonatal Nurse Practitioners, Nurses, and Emergency Ambulance Crew work together to make sure babies get to where they need to go. All supported by the Cot Bureau team, who coordinate all our calls
