Tertiary ICU services including paediatric the regional neurological unit are based in Southampton. Initial assessment, resuscitation and stabilisation of these patients involves the anaesthetic team. Due to the remote location the anaesthetic team may also be involved in transfer by helicopter or ferry to mainland services.
