- IZ Paediatrics transfer form
- Criteria for secondary paediatric transport

Monitoring a patient after transfer
To follow up on a transferred patient, please call one of the intensivists.
- IC Paediatrics, tel. 09 332 69 55
As a referring doctor, you can also access your patient’s medical records online via the Collaborative Care Platform (CoZo).
Multidisciplinary consultation
We regularly discuss patients with complex medical conditions at multidisciplinary consultations. If you have referred such a patient, it is often very useful for you to attend that consultation.
Discharge from hospital
Upon discharge from hospital, we send the discharge letter to the referring doctor by email (if connected to MediBridge) or by post. If the patient is stable enough to be transferred back, we will discuss this with you in advance by telephone.
