The DEPICT Study is led by an experienced team of doctors and nurses working in children's intensive care units across England and Wales, parents, academic experts and an NHS commissioner.

The DEPICT Study will be recruiting parents of sick children admitted to intensive care units across England and Wales in 2018 (as well as NHS clinicians) to elicit their experiences of children's intensive care transport.

The DEPICT Study has been approved by the NHS Health Research Authority. The study has received favourable opinion from a Research Ethics Committee and the HRA Confidentiality Advisory Group.
