Patient Transport in South East England
Non‑Emergency Patient Transport Across South East England
South East England is one of England’s nine official regions and includes counties such as Kent, Surrey, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hampshire, East and West Sussex and the Isle of Wight. Advanced Flourish Transportation supports planned, non‑emergency journeys for people travelling between Medway, nearby Kent areas and key destinations across the wider South East.
Who We Support in the South East
We help adults, young people and children who cannot safely use public transport or taxis because of mobility, medical, learning disability or mental health needs, consistent with national non‑emergency patient transport expectations. This includes wheelchair users, people needing stretcher transport, and individuals who benefit from trained staff, accessible vehicles and extra time for transfers.
Typical Journeys To and From the Region
Residents and providers in South East England regularly travel for hospital care, diagnostics and specialist clinics in larger towns and cities such as Canterbury, Maidstone, Brighton, Reading, Oxford and Southampton. Our service can support:
- Journeys between Kent/Medway and major South East hospitals and clinics.
- Transfers linking care homes, supported living and community services with regional specialist centres.
- Longer‑distance planned journeys across county borders where non‑emergency transport is appropriate.
Journeys are risk‑assessed and planned in line with national NEPTS guidance, focusing on safety, punctuality and patient experience.
How to Arrange Transport Across South East England
Individuals, families, care homes and commissioners can contact us to discuss one‑off journeys or recurring routes across the South East. Where NHS funding is sought, local Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) apply national eligibility criteria to decide who qualifies for funded non‑emergency transport. Privately arranged journeys can be booked directly through our team.
