HOW SOON WILL THE NNTP ARRIVE?
- The NNTP team is ready to mobilise from its hospital base within 45 minutes from the time of acceptance of the infant to transfer.
- If more than one transport request is received simultaneously, priority is given to the most critically ill baby and/or the baby in a hospital with limited personnel/resources to provide care for extended periods of time.
- En route the team will phone the referring hospital with an estimated time of arrival
- Departure times however may be influenced by:
- A concurrent transfer
- Availability of rotary wing aircraft for air transport
- The time taken by the NNTP team to travel to Baldonnell airport for air transport (usually >60 mins from time of referral call to departure from Baldonnell airport)
- Arrival time may be further affected by:
- Traffic and road conditions
- Weather conditions (rotary wing aircraft)
