5. The system is simple to use and can be washed in the washing machine between patients. We have developed a standard operating procedure, including emergency release and resuscitation procedures. There is also a SIM for the team to complete prior to use on a transfer.

6. Every piece of positive feedback we have received from families and professionals provides more and more evidence to develop the project further. The @Nestteam1 are happy to collaborate with any transport teams who would like to explore this concept further. ๐Ÿฆ˜โค๏ธ
