Summary

Transfers of patients happen all the time. It's easy to think about transfers as only those that involve an ambulance and moving patients from one hospital to the next, but in reality it's far more extensive than that. We all move patients all the time, whether that be the unwell patient in the upstairs of their house to the ambulance, the patient in the Emergency Department to the CT scanner or another ward, or the more traditional interhosptal transfer.

Transfers of patients are inherently high risk times for the patient and having some background knowledge on transfers and a structured approach helps us ensure the best possible care for our patients. In this episode we run through transfers with the help of an expert on the topic, Scott Grier a Consultant in Intensive Care Medicine and Anaesthesia at Southmead Hospital in Bristol, the South West Critical Care Network Lead for Transfer, and a PreHospital Critical Care Doctor with GWAAC.

Enjoy!

Simon, Rob and James

0:38.6	our man shrouded in mystery until now.
0:42.0	Well, before we drop that bombshell, a big thanks once again to SJTrem, the Scandinavian

0:52.8	They're a free and open access journal
0:54.5	who published articles on all the sorts of topics that we cover here on the podcast. So go and have a
0:59.3	look at our website and the hyperlink through to their fantastic journal. So without further ado,
1:04.9	let's crack on with the podcast. So we're going to be talking specifically this time about transfer and retrieval.
1:14.3	And a lot of you out there might think, well, this isn't necessarily something that I'm involved in, but you know a bit about.
1:20.5	Well, that's probably not quite the case.
1:23.7	And there are loads of things that we're on the cover in this podcast which is going to be really relevant to you.
