Oxygen & Ambulance

Oxygen & Ambulance Services at Home

For patients living with chronic respiratory conditions - such as COPD, heart failure, or the after-effects of a serious lung infection - oxygen therapy is not a temporary measure but an integral part of daily life. Our goal is to make this care available comfortably and safely within the patient’s own home, without the need for prolonged hospital stays. Alongside our oxygen service, our medical transport team ensures that every necessary journey - for an appointment, a procedure, or an emergency - takes place in the safest and most comfortable way possible, with the right equipment on board and a trained nurse by the patient’s side throughout.

Who It’s For

This service is for patients with diagnosed chronic respiratory conditions who require steady or intermittent oxygen supplementation at home. It is equally relevant for elderly or frail patients who cannot travel safely by conventional means to clinics, diagnostic centres, or hospitals. The transport service covers both planned, scheduled transfers and urgent situations that cannot wait.

What’s Included

• Respiratory needs assessment by a specialist physician: Before any equipment is provided, our doctor evaluates the patient’s condition, determines the appropriate oxygen flow rate, and selects the right type of equipment in consultation with the treating physician.
• Home installation of oxygen equipment: We install a concentrator or cylinder system in the patient’s home, configured and calibrated to the prescribed specifications.
• Oxygen flow rate setting and regular adjustment: Initial calibration and periodic reassessment to ensure the prescribed flow remains appropriate as the patient’s condition evolves.
• Family training on equipment use: We explain the operation, daily maintenance, and cleaning of the equipment clearly and patiently - and provide written instructions to refer back to. We remain available for any questions.
• Ongoing SpO2 and vital signs monitoring: Regular home visits to measure oxygen saturation and other key indicators, ensuring the therapy is achieving its intended effect.
• Scheduled medical transport: A properly equipped vehicle for planned journeys to clinics, hospitals, diagnostic facilities, or specialist appointments.
• Emergency hospital transfer: When the patient’s condition demands urgent intervention, our team responds promptly with a fully equipped vehicle and trained personnel.
• Qualified nurse accompaniment: A nurse accompanies the patient on every transport, monitoring their condition throughout and providing reassurance to both patient and family.

How It Works

1. Assessment: Our physician visits the patient at home or liaises directly with the treating physician to assess respiratory needs, determine the required oxygen flow, and select the most suitable equipment. This step ensures that everything provided is clinically appropriate, not simply rented out generically.

2. Setup and training: Our team installs the equipment in the home, explains its operation in plain and accessible language, and confirms that both the patient and the family feel confident using it correctly. Written instructions are always provided, and we are available to answer follow-up questions at any point.

3. Ongoing monitoring and transport coverage: Scheduled monitoring visits ensure the treatment remains effective and allow for timely adjustments. For any transport need - planned or urgent - our team responds with a fully equipped vehicle and accompanies the patient through the entire journey.
