The Patient Transport Service is a function that takes patients to and from their pre-arranged hospital appointments, or for their admission and discharge to hospital.
Patients are usually picked up from their home and taken to and from their hospital appointment.
Do I qualify?
A hospital or clinic appointment does not mean that you qualify for ambulance transport. Patients are eligible for this service based upon medical need for transport or assistance.

Bookings/cancellations
Please contact our Ambulance Booking Line on 0131 447 0434, Monday to Friday, 9.30am - 4.30pm. You will be asked a few questions to see if you are eligible for patient transport and to ensure that the correct transport is booked, according to your needs.
We really need to know if you no longer need ambulance transport, or if your mobility improves, so that the right type of ambulance is sent to you.
