We work with a number of NHS Trusts, Clinical Commissioning Groups and NHS Ambulance organisations to provide non-emergency patient transport for patients attending hospital appointments. Secure Patient Transport - We provide a response service for the movement and care of people with mental health illness, managing vulnerable and challenging behaviour safely and with dignity and respect. All transport requirements are met with highly trained, dedicated crews and vehicles to ensure a safe, comfortable and timely transfer of service users. We have a variety of vehicle options available in this service ranging from people carrier to secure cell. Urgent care - We have a dedicated service staffed and equipped to care for patients who need a higher level of care. UKEMS contracts directly with the NHS and supports NHS ambulance services in this area. A professional level of dedicated service is available for journeys between health care facilities, or from domestic and supported living establishments upon request.
