  The neonatal Transport and Retrieval service for the Lancashire and S Cumbria zone (STARS)has ceased and moved to a Northwest footprint as CONNECT NW.NTU (Neonatal Triage Unit) - This is based at the entrance to the Postnatal Ward. This has beenset up to address the postnatal implications of Birth centre deliveries and an A and E dept at aseparate site, for babies who for any reason, need review soon after birth, though not necessarilyqualifying for admission to NICU. This is a new innovation and probably the only one of its kind inthe country.Transitional Care (TC) Unit- This is based in Phase 5 adjacent to the postnatal wards. The TC Unitis staffed to 12 cots and is supported by a TC neonatal nurse 12 hours a day and full time byexperienced midwives.

• About the company

  National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly-funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom (UK). The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery—a health service based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care.
