Driver helping a patient up a ramp into a van – patient transfer by Flying Star
Overview

Support on the way – without the rush

After an operation, with reduced mobility or in old age, getting to hospital or the airport is often difficult. Our patient transfer takes the time it needs: your driver picks you up at your front door, helps you get in and out and loads your wheelchair, walker and luggage.

Please note: our patient transfer is a driving service for non-emergency rides. We do not provide medical care and do not replace emergency services or qualified medical patient transport. In an emergency, always call 112.
