Inter-hospital nursing transport is organised by health establishments and carried out either using their own approved resources, or under agreements with health transport companies.
It is carried out, in liaison with the SAMU, by a team consisting of a driver or pilot holding a qualification issued by the Minister for Health, and a nurse who intervenes under the conditions provided for in article R. 4311-7.
For the inter-hospital nursing transport of stable ventilated, intubated or sedated patients, the nurse making up the team mentioned in the previous paragraph is a State-qualified nurse anaesthetist.
This team may be placed under the authority of a doctor in charge of an emergency medical facility.
The organisation and operation of inter-hospital nursing transport is subject to annual assessment.
