SAVOY VENTURES LTD.
NHS PATIENT TRANSPORT
PRESS RELEASE
September 16, 2011.
Greenhithe-based Patient Transport Service provider Savoy Ventures Limited has extended its week-day ambulance technician controller resource.
Savoy conducts two levels of transfer – one for patients requiring car or minibus transfer, the other for patients requiring a higher level of care and the support of ambulance technicians which can include emergency “blue light” transfers.
Savoy is handling an increasing number of ambulance technician-conducted patient transfers between South London NHS Healthcare Trust hospitals which has meant it is enhancing controller resource during the busiest periods - 7am and 10pm – as part of its wider 24/7 control and dispatch operation.
But while the efficiencies will be enhanced, they are actually already amongst the highest standard in the region because of the calibre of controllers and dispatchers already in place.
“The key point is that the Savoy staff who dispatch and control ambulance technician crews and vehicles – which can be used for specialist and blue light transfers - are current ambulance technicians,” said Caroline Adams, one of Savoy
“This means that we speak the same language as the ambulance crews and hospital staff so can quickly determine the precise type of ambulance and crew required for each patient transport journey, and, traffic- or incident-permitting, get it right first time every time.”
Savoy Ventures Limited is a private company providing patient transport and transfer services to NHS Trusts in the South East of England. Established in 2006, Savoy
