What are the benefits?
Our transfer service ensures that patients are taken to the appropriate healthcare facility in a timely manner. They also reduce some of the pressure on hospital services in Wales by freeing up staff and Welsh hospital beds. It may reduce ambulance use for long-distance transfers.
