Your Journey, Your Comfort — Book Private Ambulance Transport with Apex Medical & Rescue

At Apex Medical & Rescue, we understand that travelling to appointments, moving between hospitals, or heading home after treatment can be a source of worry, especially when mobility, medical equipment, or ongoing care needs are involved. That's why we offer professional, private ambulance transport designed entirely around you.

Whether you're attending a routine outpatient appointment, transferring between care facilities, being discharged home, or need transport for a one off medical event, our experienced crews are ready to help. Every booking is treated with the same level of care: a fully equipped vehicle, trained staff, and a commitment to getting you where you need to be safely, comfortably, and on time.

We know that booking transport privately, rather than through the NHS, can feel unfamiliar, so we've made the process as simple as possible. You can book directly with us by phone or online, choose a time that suits you, and know that a qualified crew will be there, ready to support you every step of the way.

What you can expect from every journey:

  • Fully trained ambulance crews experienced in patient care, manual handling, and clinical support
  • Vehicles equipped for wheelchair users, stretcher patients, and those with additional medical or mobility needs
  • Flexible booking for one-off appointments, recurring treatment schedules (such as dialysis or oncology), or discharge transport
  • Clear, upfront pricing with no hidden costs
  • A compassionate, patient-first approach, we treat every journey as though it were for our own family
  • Punctual collection and drop off, with updates if your appointment runs long

Your dignity and wellbeing come first, always. From the moment we collect you to the moment you arrive, our teams are focused on making your journey as calm, safe, and reassuring as possible.

Contracted Patient Transport Services

Reliable, Compliant Patient Transport Services for NHS Trusts, Commissioning Groups and Local Authorities

Apex Medical & Rescue provides contracted non-emergency patient transport services to NHS Trusts, Integrated Care Boards, Local Authorities and Clinical Commissioning Groups across the region. We pride ourselves in delivering safe, timely, and compassionate transport that supports your patients and helps you meet service standards.

Our service is built for the demands of PTS operations: high patient volumes, tight scheduling windows, complex mobility and clinical needs, and rigorous standards for safety, safeguarding, and reporting. We combine operational reliability with the same patient first ethos that defines every journey we deliver, because contracted transport is still, at its core, about the person in the vehicle.

Why NHS organisations choose to contract with us:

  • Full CQC registration for the transport of patients and compliance with NHS Patient Transport Service eligibility and quality standards
  • Trained, DBS-checked crews experienced in manual handling, infection control, and supporting patients with a wide range of clinical and mobility needs
  • A mixed fleet suited to wheelchair, stretcher, and ambulatory transport requirements
  • Scalable capacity to support routine appointment runs, hospital-to-hospital transfers, discharge transport, and high-volume or short-notice demand
  • Robust scheduling, tracking, and reporting systems to support KPI monitoring, contract management, and audit requirements
  • Competitive, transparent contract pricing with service levels tailored to your Trust's or CCG's specific needs

We work closely with commissioners and Trust transport leads to design a service that fits existing pathways, integrates with referral and booking systems, and supports continuous improvement in patient experience and operational efficiency.
