WATCH

The Wales & West Acute Transport for Children service (WATCh) is the team that provides acute management advice and inter-hospital transport for children in South Wales and South West England. WATCh is a joint partnership between between the two paediatric intensive care units in Cardiff and Bristol. The team is funded on a 24-hour basis to provide immediate management advice and transport of children requiring intensive care support. Where possible, the team will also undertake the transport of children requiring an uplift of care to a high-dependency unit at one of the lead centres and undertake back-transfers of children to referring centres to promote patient flow... Finally, in partnership with the lead PICUs, WATCh is responsible for providing outreach support and education through the regional roadshows.
