Patient transport
St John Ambulance Patient Transport Service makes healthcare
accessible to all by offering a safe means of
transport between hospitals, clinics, nursing homes and
any other destination a patient may need to visit.
Patients’ safety, comfort and dignity are our main
concerns and, as such, many of our vehicles allow a friend
or carer to accompany the patient on their journey. Our
friendly and efficient operational staff
transport more than 3,000 patients every
year. They are all highly experienced, qualified to
national standards and dedicated to offering the best possible
care.
Based in Devizes, Wiltshire we are well-placed to access all
locations in England and are able to offer patients a broad
range of transport options, whether this be for one-way,
wait and return, or regularly scheduled trips, including:
- Transport to/from hospitals, nursing homes and private
addresses
- Specialist transport and support for bedridden patients and
those on stretchers, trollies or wheelchairs
- Medical repatriation
- Outpatient visits of all types (including dialysis)
Our ambulances are fitted with the latest
equipment and, in the event of any problems during the
journey, our ambulance crews can respond immediately with the best
possible emergency care. All crew members receive
regular rigorous training and are highly
qualified in first aid, the use of defibrillators and the
administration of oxygen and medical gases for pain relief.
We offer competitive rates and, as a registered
non-profit making charity, we believe in using any money we make to
benefit the community. All surplus proceeds
from our activities are used to support the charitable work of our
organisation, benefiting patient welfare and communities throughout
Wiltshire.
