Ambulance transport
The non-emergency patient transport service is only available for patients who are unable (for medical reasons) to use private or public transport services for their journey to and/or from our hospitals.
A clinical need for treatment does not necessarily imply a medical need for transport.
Individuals without a medical need for transport should take responsibility for organising their own transport.
For patient transport queries please contact South Central Ambulance Service on 0300 123 9841.
Who can assess patients?
A qualified health care professional must assess a patient’s medical need for transport before it is booked for each journey – this can be a doctor, nurse, midwife or senior therapist working in the NHS.
All PTS bookings will then be screened by the Transport Bureau for eligibility before the booking is accepted.
