In collaboration with the Paediatric Critical Care Society, we have published guidance to support the transition from paediatric to adult intensive care.
The standards and recommendations set out in this guidance document will assist in the establishment of a working paediatric to adult critical care transition pathway, applicable in all Hospital Trusts. It is recognised that a “one size fits all” approach cannot be used for critical care transition and that certain aspects will be tailored to the specific working requirements of the Trusts involved.
If you have any questions regarding this guidance, please contact us on guidelines@ics.ac.uk.
