Hospital and A&E transport

We offer additional support and transport services to A&E departments across England.

On a short-term basis, we work collaboratively with many NHS Ambulance Trusts and Foundation Trusts. We add capacity to relieve A&E pressure, build seasonal resilience, and to ensure the most efficient movement of patients.

On a long-term basis, we work alongside existing services to provide transport for discharged patients from hospital, outpatient clinics, and specialist clinics.

  • We provide

    • Dedicated discharge ambulances to operate during peak times.

    • Help with the avoidance of unnecessary hospital admissions.

    • Additional staff to assist in A&E with bay cleaning, cohorting patients, basic dressings, and observations.
