Referral guidelines
Advance bookings can now be made up until 6.00pm the day before travelling. However, the more notice the better for any complex (bariatric etc) patients as allows for planning.
If a patient requires a risk assessment to be carried out to assess travel needs this will need to be booked with 48 hours notice.
Patients need to be ready 2 hours before the appointment time and may be collected any time within this window.
Who should be referred
Non-emergency patient transport will only be arranged where it is judged by a medically qualified professional that the patient’s health would suffer through the use of public or private transport.
To be eligible/qualify for patient transport the patient will have:
- A medical condition that affects their mobility so they cannot use public/private transport
- A need for the facilities available on an ambulance (i.e. oxygen)
- The need for the help of a crew in order to travel safely.
