Summary of services and Terms and Conditions- Medical companion/ transport services
Summary of services
We utilize a discreet, plain white 2016 Peugeot Boxer patient transport ambulance. Our
vehicle is equipped with onboard oxygen, comprehensive monitoring equipment
including a 12-lead ECG and defibrillator, airway management tools, a comprehensive
first aid kit, pain relief, and immobilisation equipment. Our available staƯ include those
with pre hospital care qualifications, who are able to monitor patients with existing
medical conditions and provide emergency medical interventions if required within the
scope of their qualifications.
For your comfort, our ambulance features running water for hand washing, air
conditioning, and heating. We are also happy to play your preferred music playlist
during the journey.
Our service is tailored to individual needs, as we only transport one patient per day. We
will collect you from your residence and transport you to your required destination.
Unlike a taxi service, we will remain with you throughout the day or night, eliminating the
need for you to feel rushed. We can either wait with you until you are ready to return
home or take you back to your hotel/ accommodation for return on a future date.
During the day, our team will be available to provide assistance as much or as little as
you require. If you need some quiet time, the ambulance oƯers a comfortable and
stress-free environment. While we do not provide personal care, we can assist with your
ongoing medical needs, such as oxygen administration.
