Saskatchewan's Pediatric Transport Service, with teams located at both the Regina General Hospital and Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon, is a unique concept in the delivery of pediatric tertiary care to rural and northern areas of Saskatchewan.

It is the first such pediatric transport service to combine the expertise of two major hospitals, road and air ambulance as well as to provide an information source on pediatric critical care for outlying communities.

The goals of the Saskatchewan Pediatric Transport Service are:

• To consult with physicians expert in pediatric critical care.
• To stabilize and transport the pediatric patient in a timely, safe and efficient manner to Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon or Regina General Hospital.
  
• To participate in an outreach educational program relating to pre-transport resuscitation and stabilization of infants and children.

1. The pediatrician/pediatric specialist will triage the request and make the appropriate arrangements for transportation.
2. The Transport Team will be dispatched to your location either by road or air ambulance.
3. On arrival, the Team will assess the situation, report findings back to the receiving hospital and provide the necessary treatment to stabilize the patient prior to transport.
4. When the child is as stable as possible, transport to the receiving hospital will occur.
