🚑 Fleet Update 🚑

We’re pleased to welcome a new vehicle into the fleet, replacing our former SA04.

This latest addition strengthens our ability to deliver safe, reliable and professional High Dependency transport and medical support wherever it’s needed. With enhanced capability and improved efficiency, it ensures we continue to meet the high standards our clients and patients expect.

This vehicle will soon be kitted up to the high standards we expect of our vehicles to ensure the right equipment is available when our crews require it.

📍 Onwards and upwards as we continue to invest in quality, safety, and service delivery with more vehicles to come over the year.
