Who is the course for?

This 1 day multi disciplinary course is for clinical staff who are called upon to transfer critical care patients. These include: junior doctors F1 &F2, SpRs, A&E and critical care nurses and ODAs. A multidisciplinary approach and the need for team working are key features of the course.

What does the course cover?
You will learn about:-
  • The importance of speed and pre-transfer stabilisation
  • The most likely problems that occur during transfers in London and how to respond both before, during and after transfer
  • How Network transfer documentation is “your new best friend” and how it will take you systematically through a transfer from start to finish helping you avoid the legal nasties and common transfer pitfalls.
The course is delivered by critical care transfer experts and specialists from hospitals in West London. This highly interactive day includes:-
  • A comprehensive introduction to transfer standards and local transfer documentation in use within hospitals in North West London
  • Detailed presentations from clinical experts
  • Top “tips” for transfers and how to avoid communication problems
  • Workshops covering the neuro transfer, the intra hospital transfer and an equipment session.
