CenTre Neonatal Transport transfers premature and sick newborn babies in our dedicated neonatal ambulance to the most appropriate hospital.
We can be contacted via our call centre on 0300 300 0038
We have 2 acute day time teams (07:45hrs to 20:15hrs) and 1 acute night time team (19:45hrs to 08:15hrs) on duty every day. These teams are made up by an experienced neonatal transport nurse with either an advanced neonatal nurse practitioner (ANNP) or a medic.
We also have a nurse only team on duty every day (07:45hrs to 20:15hrs). This is an experienced neonatal transport nurse who will undertake repatriation transfers, outpatient appointments and investigations for babies deemed well enough not to need an ANNP or medic.
Our base is shared with the Comet Paediatric Transport Service and ACCOTS transport service at 10 Willow Road, Castle Donnington, Derby DE74 2NP.
We have 2 neonatal surgical centers in our area, one at the Leicester Royal Infirmary and one at the Queen’s Medical Centre in Nottingham. In addition we undertake many transfers of newborn infants who require intervention for cardiac anomalies to the East Midlands Congenital Heart Center at Leicester Royal Infirmary, Kensington Building.
CenTre is a busy service regularly transferring over 120 infants every month.
