The first Conference , organised by NETS UK, to discuss the development of paediatric and neo-natal aero-medical transport, was hailed a 'great success' by all participants.

Key note speakers Dr Andrew Berry of NETS NSW and Dr Charles Skeoch of the Scottish Air Ambulance Service identified some of the barriers they had overcome and gave a number of very helpful pointers for the future.
