Transforming Pediatric Care: The Vital Role of CATS in Air and Land Transport

Did you know that most hospitals in the UK lack a specialist paediatric intensive care unit (PICU)? Instead, children’s intensive care services are centralized in approximately 30 large hospitals in major urban centers. When a child becomes critically ill, immediate access to specialized care is not just beneficial—it’s vital! This is where CATS steps in. This dedicated team of specialist doctors, nurses, ambulance technicians, and administrators brings *cutting-edge* paediatric intensive care directly to the child’s bedside. After stabilization, they expertly transport these young patients—by land or air—to a PICU where they can continue receiving the *specialist* intensive care they desperately need.
