1. Confirm the patient is fit to travel
Ask the treating doctor whether the patient can travel by road, how far, and what support is needed on the way, oxygen, monitoring, ventilatory support. Ask for a discharge summary or transfer letter that states this.
2. Confirm the destination
If the patient is going to a hospital, confirm the bed, department and admission process before booking. If going home, make sure someone will be there to receive the patient and that the home is ready, bed, access, any equipment needed.
3. Share the right details when you call
- Pickup address, floor and lift availability
- Destination address with PIN code
- Patient's condition and oxygen flow rate, if any
- Treating doctor's advice on the level of care needed
- How many family members will travel
- Preferred departure time
4. Agree the plan and quotation
Before dispatch, you should know the ambulance type, what equipment and crew will travel, the expected arrival window and the full cost. Ask for these in writing on WhatsApp.
5. Prepare the travel folder
- Discharge summary and prescriptions
- Recent reports and scans
- Medicines for the journey plus a spare day's supply
- Identity documents for the patient and family
- Receiving hospital contact, if applicable
6. On the day
Keep your phone charged and reachable. Hospital discharge often takes longer than expected; update the ambulance team as the timing firms up.
