Clinical Instruction Update – Paediatric patients and transport

An update has been made to the Clinical Instruction for paediatric patients and transport.

As you will know in December 2021, following published guidance from NASMED and identification of a number of significant incidents affecting non-conveyed paediatrics under one year of age, we introduced a clinical instruction regarding conveyance decisions of paediatrics.

Following feedback from you as well as external clinical colleagues we have now revised the instruction. It is hoped this provides greater clarity to allow greater access to alternative services as appropriate.

The updated clinical instruction can be viewed here.
