Ensuring person-centred care is delivered throughout the journey, our service levels are individualised to ensure that regardless of need, the right resource is there to cater for the patient. Typical transports include to and from appointments, repatriations (internationally, airport collections, and nationally between places of definitive care). More than just an ambulance transfer, our transport service providers and the experienced hospital staff deployed for the duty continue the care or therapeutic interventions as the transportation happens, keeping gaps in care delivery to a minimum.

Our service providers ambulances are equipped to the highest standard for patient transfer services with automatic electronic defibrillators (AEDs), monitors, oxygen facilities and are fitted with access ramps and floor tracking to enable the safe transportation of wheelchair patients.

Pre-planned conveyance from either home or a hospital to anywhere is a regular activity that Immediate Care Medical undertake. Our experience/experienced staff offer dignity and care in every journey, as we understand that the "patient" is a person our focus of care.

The care that a person requires can vary in complexity, and our third party service providers can adapt to meet the needs of every individual's care-plan, ensuring that the most appropriate level of staffing is providing care on the ambulance journey.

We cater for the following types of "non-emergency" transfer services and private ambulance hire:

From Airport to Hospital and return
From hospital to home
Stretcher bound patients
Wheelchair or walk-on patients
Doctor, clinic and physiotherapy appointments
Elderly transport including care homes

The services are typically provided by health care professionals, experienced in providing care in either the hospital environment, and/or the pre-hospital/ambulance environment.  Journeys that are scheduled for patients not requiring emergency treatment, but do require ongoing clinical care, or potential interventions during their journey. Critical Care transfers are scheduled for those patients who are travelling between, or going to an intensive care units, and require 1-to-1 or 2-to-1 care.

Our third party service providers and their ICU set up ambulance crews ensure the very best in pre-hospital patient care for non-urgent inter-hospital patient transfers. Critical care transport packages including infusion pumps, syringe drivers, mechanical ventilation and extended monitoring should be explicitally requested.
