Medic Air European's Patient Transport Service (PTS)
conveys non-emergency patients to and fro for outpatient appointments,
admissions, discharges and transfers. The Service can also be hired for
non-hospital
requirements where the patient does not
necessitate a High Dependency Ambulance but, due to their medical condition,
they are unable to use other forms of
transportation.
All of our PTS Ambulances have easy access ramps and, in addition to
walking patients, are designed to carry
wheelchair and stretcher patients in safety and comfort.
Our PTS Ambulance crews usually consist of two trained
Ambulance Care Assistants (ACAs). ACAs are trained in first aid and can
assist and care for patients who may have
special needs. They receive full first aid training in basic life support,
including oxygen therapy. Although such work
does not involve the drama of high dependency duties, it is crucial to the
Service and provides opportunities to support
and give assistance to those in need.
