The South Thames Retrieval Service (STRS) operates from the paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) of the Evelina Children's Hospital|, located at St Thomas' Hospital.
The unit is the lead centre for paediatric intensive care in the South Thames region and manages the clinical network for paediatric intensive care via the retrieval service, in conjunction with the intensive care units at St George's Hospital| and King's College Hospital|.
With one phone call to the emergency number, a clinician in a South Thames hospital can source clinical advice, a PICU bed and a transport team as necessary. STRS can then also coordinate specialist service input (e.g. cardiology).
