The importance of blood transportation and other Medical Services work

Blood transportation is highly important to the medical industry. If patients with rare blood groups need a transfusion, the ability to move supplies quickly and safely can be critical.

Moving organs quickly is also crucial, as the success of transplant surgery can depend on time. When every minute counts, you can rely on Medical Services to deliver the items you need to you as soon as possible.

Medical Services staff are also able to transport specialist surgical teams by road or air. This means doctors, medical co-ordinators and support staff will always be available where their patients need them.

At Medical Services, we pride ourselves on providing patient, staff, organ and blood transportation that meets the high standards of the NHS.

Medical Services staff

Frontline and support staff are both crucial to the success of Medical Services. Whether you are seeking an ambulance job, courier post or background role, we offer a highly rewarding career.

Our private ambulances for patient transport and High Dependency Units are vitally important for patients en route to hospital or to appointments at clinics. As well as providing a comfortable environment, our ambulances are well equipped, with:

• Heart monitors.
• Automated external defibrillators.
• Middlesex carry chairs.
• Piped oxygen.
• Entonox supplies.

Authorised crews can use blue lights in an emergency situation, providing valuable support to the emergency services.

Importance to patients

Our national patient transportation teams are available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Whatever the needs of the patient, these will be taken into account when choosing a vehicle for patient transfer.

Medical Services drivers are all considerate and discreet when helping patients who require extra attention. We pride ourselves on our ability to provide the highest level of safety and comfort to our passengers when carrying out patient transport in the UK.

Under normal circumstances, Medical Services do not transport clients in their own electric wheelchairs. If we are required to do this, Medical Services do not accept any liability.
