About the transport team

The West Midlands Neonatal Transfer Service is a 24 hour service staffed by specialist Advanced Neonatal Nurse Practitioners and Doctors.

The team operates:

Monday - Friday: 08.00 - 20.30hrs

Monday - Friday: 20.00 - 08.00hrs

In certain circumstances a parent will be asked if they wish to accompany their baby on their transfer. There are guidelines in place to ensure the safe transfer of you and your baby, and the hospital team caring for your baby will let the team know that you would like to accompany your baby and update you.

The West Midlands Neonatal Transfer Service currently transfers approximately 100 babies per month.

If the team is delayed on another transfer they will ring and keep the hospital team updated on an estimated arrival time.

Transfers are arranged according to individual babies needs to ensure the smallest and sickest babies are given priority in transfers.
