Introduction

UCS Medical, a leading independent CQC regulated ambulance provider in the North West of England, is proud to announce the launch of its new secure mental health transport division. This dedicated service is designed to provide safe, efficient, and compassionate transportation for vulnerable children and adults experiencing mental health crises.


Addressing a Critical Need

The demand for specialised mental health transport services has been steadily increasing. Our new division aims to fill a crucial gap in the healthcare system by offering a comprehensive range of services tailored to the specific needs of individuals in crisis. Utilising a range of vehicles including secure cars, wheelchair vehicles, stretcher ambulances, and celled vehicles we can ensure the right vehicle is sent to the right patient, to address their individualised needs.
