We specialise in providing emergency transport for acutely sick newborn babies requiring specialist care within the east of England.
We carry out two types of transfer:
There are two types of transfer teams:
Our service operates two emergency teams over a 24 hour period, 7 days a week, 365 days per year and an elective service from 8am to 6pm Monday to Friday.
The Ambulance element of our service is provided by the East of England Ambulance Trust.
In 2010 ANTS received 1412 transfer referrals. 1074 were completed of which 581 were completed by dual clinician teams and 493 were completed by single clinician teams.
EBS (Emergency Bed Service) for the East of England
EBS assists with the location of cots within the hospitals in our region and London. If a specific cot is required by a referring hospital that isn't available in the region then the EBS Co-ordinators will locate a cot outside our region which is as close to the Babies home where possible.
The EBS Co-ordinators will manage all transfer request calls for the ANTS team and carry out all ambulance bookings.
To make a referral for ex-utero or in-utero transfers please call EBS on 01223 274 274
