Patient transport in Northern Ireland.

Ambulance crew assisting a patient into a vehicle for a planned transfer

More than a taxi

For journeys where the patient needs more care.

A hospital appointment, discharge or move between care settings can be difficult when someone has limited mobility or needs support during travel. We discuss access, handling and care requirements before proposing a vehicle, crew and handover plan.

Hospital admissions and discharges

Planned collection or return transport, coordinated around ward and discharge timings at hospitals across Northern Ireland.

Appointments and procedures

Transport to outpatient clinics, scans, treatment or planned procedures, including return journeys.

Care setting transfers

Dignified moves between home, residential care, nursing homes and healthcare facilities.

Care throughout the transfer

The practical details are part of the care.

Tell us what the patient can comfortably manage and we will identify the right arrangement before confirming the booking.

Mobility and handling

Walking ability, wheelchair use, stretcher requirements, steps and access are considered in advance.

Clinical support

The crew and support level are matched to the information provided about the patient’s needs.

Journey planning

Collection, appointment, waiting and return requirements are agreed before the transport is confirmed.

Family or carer travel

Let us know if a relative or carer would like to travel with the patient so it can be included in the plan.

Destination liaison

Ward, clinic, care-home or home access details help the crew prepare for arrival and handover.

Comfort and reassurance

The journey is approached calmly, with patient dignity and clear communication throughout.

How it works

From booking to handover.

  1. Step 1

    Share the journey

    Tell us the collection address, destination, date, appointment time and whether a return is needed.

  2. Step 2

    Discuss the patient

    We review mobility, access, comfort, equipment and any clinical support information.

  3. Step 3

    Confirm the arrangement

    We confirm availability, the vehicle and crew, timing and a clear quotation.

  4. Step 4

    Collection and handover

    The crew completes the planned journey and supports the patient through to handover.

Preparing an enquiry

What helps us quote the journey.

You do not need medical terminology. Clear practical information is enough to start the conversation.

  • Collection and destination addresses
  • Date, appointment time and one-way or return journey
  • Walking, wheelchair or stretcher requirements
  • Steps, lifts and access at either address
  • Relevant support, comfort or equipment needs
  • Whether a relative or carer hopes to travel
