You can bring a friend or relative to escort you if you wish.

You may wish to bring a snack or a sandwich with you as generally your assessment may take up 3 hours. A water cooler is located in the main waiting room however we do not provide hot drinks.

There are refreshments available in the main Outpatient departments and are provided by hospital staff or the Hospital League of Friends and WRVS.

The main hospital dining room is located on C level Huntsman building and offers visitors a range of hot and cold meals.

If you are a carer it may be necessary for you to arrange alternative care for the person you care for as your appointment may last for 3 hours. Please inform us if you are a carer so we can liaise over admission arrangement

You are eligible for PTS if:

  • You have a medical condition that requires the skills and support of PTS staff during the journey, or if travelling by other means would have a negative impact on your condition or recovery.
  • Your medical condition affects your mobility so that you can't access healthcare by yourself, or if travelling by other means would have a negative impact on your condition or recovery.
  • You are recognised as a parent or guardian of children who are being transported.

Eligibility for PTS should be determined by a healthcare professional or a non-clinically qualified member of staff who is clinically supervised or working within locally agreed guidelines, and employed by or working under contract for the NHS.

PTS could also be given to a patient’s escort or carer where their particular skills or support are needed. This could include someone accompanying a person with a physical or mental disability or a vulnerable adult, or a patient's translator. However, this would need to be agreed in advance when transport is booked.
