Medical Services for Organisations

Increasing pressure on NHS ambulance crews have led to longer response times, meaning immediate medical assistance is not always available when it is urgently needed. For businesses and education establishments, this delay can significantly impact outcomes in medical emergencies, where every minute matters.

Our medical services are designed to provide a highly cost effective solution to this challenge.  With on call clinicians including Paramedics and Nurses, we are able to provide an onsite response within minutes, bringing immediate assessment and treatment to scene.

We are also able to support low acuity requirements such as welfare, safeguarding and mental health, alongside our emergency capability.

As a CQC Registered provider, we are able to bring enhanced skills that a first aid and student nurse services are unable to deliver directly.

Cornwall's largest educational campus relies upon our service 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to provide medical response to students and staff.



We provide ambulances staffed by HCPC registered Paramedics or Nurses who are able to deliver advanced clinical care during urgent or complex transfers, as well as patient transport crews for lower-acuity journeys and routine hospital discharges.

The majority of our clinicians also work within frontline NHS services, bringing current operational experience and high clinical standards to each and every transfer.

All members of our team undergo the same statutory and mandatory training, safeguarding requirements and enhanced security checks expected of NHS ambulance staff.  This ensures patients receive safe, professional and reassuring care throughout their journey.

We understand that arranging an ambulance transfer for a family member can be a worrying time.

Every patient matters to us and our teams take pride in ensuring that each journey is handled with care, dignity and compassion.

Many patients travel with us during times when they may be feeling unwell, anxious, or vulnerable and our crews work hard to make every transfer as comfortable, reassuring and pleasant as possible.

From the moment we arrive, our focus is on providing professional clinical care alongside kindness and respect, treating every patient as we would want our own loved ones to be treated.

Our staff consists of experienced clinicians many of whom work frontline for the NHS alongside delivering outstanding care through our services.

Our clinical governance ensure the highest standards of care are delivered within a defined scope of practice for each clinical grade.  Every member of our team is vetted and holds DBS checks and undertakes mandatory training each year.

We are a CQC Registered Provider, our care is monitored and regulated by the Care Quality Commission, enabling us to provide medical services that go beyond the scope of school nursing.
