Private patient transport provides a safe, comfortable and reliable way for people to travel to hospitals, medical appointments, care homes and other healthcare facilities when standard transport may not be suitable.
At Expedition Mini Coaches, we understand that travelling to or from a healthcare appointment isn’t always as simple as getting into a car or booking a taxi. Some passengers may have reduced mobility, use a wheelchair, require additional assistance, or simply need a more comfortable and supportive transport service.
Our private patient transport service is designed to make these journeys as straightforward, dignified and stress-free as possible.
What is private patient transport?
Private patient transport is a pre-arranged transport service for people who need additional support when travelling for healthcare-related journeys.
Unlike a standard taxi service, patient transport can be arranged around the individual needs of the passenger. This can be particularly important for elderly passengers, wheelchair users and people whose mobility makes travelling in an ordinary vehicle difficult.
Private patient transport can be used for both one-off and regular journeys, including travel to and from hospitals, clinics, care homes and other healthcare facilities.
Who is private patient transport for?
There are many reasons why someone may choose to use a private patient transport service.
Our service may be suitable for:
- Wheelchair users who require a wheelchair-accessible vehicle.
- Elderly passengers who may need additional time or assistance during their journey.
- Hospital patients travelling to or returning from an appointment.
- Patients being discharged from hospital who need suitable transport home or to a care facility.
- People attending regular medical appointments, including ongoing treatment at hospitals and clinics.
- Care home residents travelling to medical appointments or between facilities.
- Passengers travelling longer distances for specialist appointments, treatment or transfers between healthcare facilities.
Every passenger is different, which is why we recommend discussing your requirements with our team before booking.
