Book excerpt: Patient transfer is becoming increasingly frequent as specialist departments are being concentrated in the larger hospitals, and in the UK owing to the lack of ICU beds.

This book gives a systematic approach for the safe transportation of patients between departments and hospitals. This is the course book for the Safe Transfer and Retrieval courses run by the Advanced Life Support Group.
