Members of the Critical Care Transport team are provincially mandated to provide transport to critically ill neonates and paediatric patients to centres able to provide a higher level of care as required by patient condition. The transport environment is highly unpredictable, and Critical Care Transport Registered Nurse Fellows (CCTT RNF) will train to be perpetually ready with a broadened skill set, proper equipment and mental preparedness to respond to any situation they are presented with. Although they have telephone access to Physicians to guide them with developing a plan of care and carrying out complex procedures, there are occasions where they would not be able to reach these resources (lack of cell service in remote areas, while in flight) and must use their clinical judgement under the guidance and supervision of their overseeing clinician and with increasing autonomy as the fellowship progresses to carry out highly specialized procedures in emergency, life or death situations often in confined spaces and with only the assistance of their Clinician partner. They will be involved in the care of critically ill patients utilizing complex equipment and will progress to managing patient care as the fellowship advances.
The CCTT RNF will leverage their own extensive knowledge and clinical experience as a Critical Care Registered Nurse to progress toward practice as a Critical Care Transport Team Registered Nurse Clinician (CCTT RN). This is achieved through successful completion of the required stages of the fellowship, as monitored and approved by the CHEO Transport Fellowship Program, and upon successful completion of the required written assessments and Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE), preparing the fellow to function effectively within the transport team in a highly challenging, dynamic, and unpredictable clinical environment.
