Critical Care Transport

Embrace Transport Service

Embrace provides a 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, critical care transport service for critically ill neonatal and paediatric patients in the Yorkshire and Humber region. We are located near junction 37 of the M1 from where we can respond quickly to referrals from clinicians throughout the region.

Embrace will provide clinical advice using our conference call facility to liaise with sub-specialists when required, and when necessary will mobilise an intensive care team skilled in the transport of critically ill children and infants.

Locating an appropriate bed is carried out by our call handling staff who have up to date details of bed availability throughout the region. If there is no availability within our region we will coordinate with intensive care units outside the Yorkshire and Humber region.

In order to help make this process as smooth as possible, the information on the links below can be helpful:
