Emergency Contracts (999 NHS)
Our NHS contracts task us to provide experienced Paramedics and Technicians in our own fleet of Rapid Response Vehicles (RRV’s). We are one of only a very small number of private companies in the UK to pass the stringent in-house due diligence checks conducted by each trust we work for, and also to be approved by The Ambulance Service Association as a whole to respond to Cat-A (the most serious) emergency calls through the public 999 framework.
We have been providing these services to the NHS since 2006, and our conscientiousness in selecting only the most suitably experienced and motivated medical staff and management teams, supplied with the best possible equipment, has paid off. Our mission from the outset was to not focus on ‘ financial margins’ but to establish and maintain the highest quality service to both patients, and the ambulance service trusts with whom we work. We have developed what we believe to be a unique system in the way we operate our NHS 999 contracts, and this seems to have addressed many previous concerns about the private provider / NHS relationship in the context of emergency services work.
Our efforts in this area have now been formally recognised and substantiated by way of highly positive data and feedback produced independently by the NHS, after closely monitoring and evaluating our performance over a three-year period.
We believe competition is healthy, but will not go further into our ‘system’ here, as this is obviously confidential.
Needless to say, if you are reading this page as a representative from an interested NHS Ambulance Service Trust, we would be delighted to explain why we are different, and how we can help.
