Long Distance Journeys

Long Distance Patient Transport

Our Long Distance Patient Transport service operates 24/7, providing safe and reliable ambulance transfers across the UK and Europe.

Our Long Distance Patient Transport service provides safe, comfortable, and clinically supported transfers for patients travelling between hospitals, specialist treatment centres, or their final destination. We regularly work with NHS hospitals, consultants, clinicians, and insurance assistance companies to deliver professional long distance ambulance transfer services.

In addition, our teams manage Advanced Life Support (ALS) ambulance transfers for both stretcher and seated patients. When clinically required, our ambulances can operate with blue lights and sirens to ensure urgent patient transfers are carried out safely and efficiently.

Distance is rarely a limitation. Instead, the journey is guided by the patient’s condition and clinical needs. Therefore, we can arrange fresh ambulance crews along the route when necessary. This approach ensures safe and continuous care during long distance medical transport.

Our fleet includes more than 60 specialist vehicles, including HDU ambulances, wheelchair accessible vehicles, and hybrid ambulance cars. As a result, we can provide the appropriate level of care and equipment for each journey. Furthermore, our experienced medical teams ensure patients travel with dignity, comfort, and professional care from departure to destination.

Contact us today to arrange your Long Distance Patient Transport with our experienced medical team and fully equipped ambulance fleet.
