Description:
This is the dataset for the The Emergency Medical Retrieval and Transfer Service (EMRTS) Cymru. Which is a pre-hospital critical care service in Wales.
The Emergency Medical Retrieval and Transfer Service (EMRTS) Cymru is a service for Wales that provides Consultant and Critical Care Practitioner-delivered pre-hospital critical care across Wales. It was launched on the 27 April 2015 and is a partnership between Welsh Air Ambulance Charitable Trust, Welsh Government and NHS Wales.
The service was commissioned ‘to provide advanced decision making and critical care for life or limb threatening emergencies that require transfer for time critical specialist treatment at an appropriate facility.’
EMRTS Cymru is a clinically led service, commissioned by the Emergency Ambulance Services Committee, and is hosted by Swansea Bay University Health Board.
EMRTS Cymru has been developed to bring specific benefits to Wales, specifically:
Reductions in geographical inequity for patients with critical care needs.
Health gains by improving clinical outcomes.
Improved clinical and skills sustainability – improving the clinical skills, recruitment, and retention in key acute care areas.
There is also a service provision for the enhancement of neonatal and maternal pre-hospital critical care (both for home deliveries and deliveries in free-standing midwifery-led units).
The service provides a highly trained critical care team comprising consultants (from an emergency medicine, anaesthesia, and intensive care background) and critical care practitioners (who are advanced-trained former paramedics and nurses). The service has two main areas of activity:
Pre-hospital critical care for all age groups (i.e., interventions/decisions that are outside standard paramedic practice).
Undertaking time-critical, life or limb-threatening adult and paediatric transfers from peripheral centres for patients requiring specialist intervention at the receiving hospital.
