About Newborn & Paediatric Emergency Transport Service - Nets Nsw
Established in 1979, NETS provides an emergency service across NSW for advice and /or inter-hospital transport of children; from newborn infants to teens.
Newborn & Paediatric Emergency Transport Service - Nets Nsw Description
The Service takes calls from doctors treating babies and children in hospitals without the capacity to provide the necessary care. Specialist advice; often involving multiple senior doctors through audio (and sometimes even video) conference call assists treatment in the local hospital. In addition, a NETS medical retrieval team with mobile life support system can travel by specialist NETS ambulance, helicopter or air ambulance to take over care and transport the child to a specialist hospital.
NETS teams travel in customised ambulances donated to NETS. For air transport NETS uses aircraft operated for the Ambulance Service of NSW by the Royal Flying Doctor Service (fixed wing planes) and by Child Flight (helicopters). From 2013 the Ambulance Service of NSW decided to change from Child Flight to CareFlight as the dedicated provider for NETS missions.
