EMA’s Palliative Transfer Service
What are Palliative Transfers?
Palliative transfers involve transporting patients with life-limiting illnesses or those in the end-of-life phase. These transfers require a compassionate approach that takes into account the patient’s comfort, dignity, and specific needs. If you would like to learn more about hospice and palliative care, we recommend visiting the website of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization (NHPCO) and or visiting the website of Hospice UK, the national charity for hospice and palliative care.
At EMA Patient Transport, we understand how stressful and challenging this time can be for patients and their loved ones. Our trained and experienced ambulance crew are dedicated to providing a caring and respectful palliative transport service that puts the patient’s comfort and wellbeing first. We liaise and interact with the Care Home or Hospice to ensure every provision for the journey is thought of and taken care of for a smooth interaction.

For example, during one palliative transport booking, we were delighted to be able to work together with the Macmillan Unit at Christchurch Hospital to take a patient to Bournemouth Pier and beach. This place held many important memories for her, and that she wished to visit one final time. Read about our patients journey in the Bournemouth Echo.
Our service can be booked by healthcare professionals, as well as the friends or family of the patient.
