Prior to 2019, MRI for ventilated neonates required a dedicated neonatal transport team to transfer patients to a tertiary centre for imaging and then repatriate the patient. A multi professional, inter specialty in situ simulation was conducted to enable transport of a ventilated neonate from the neonatal unit to MRI within the Trust. The simulation […]
