Somerset to Milton Keynes transfer

EMA Patient Transport transported my Dad from Somerset to Milton Keynes. They kept me updated on arrival times and looked after my Dad with great care. We really appreciate everything they did on the day to take the stress out of a big move. They supported both care homes in the transfer and ensured everything went smoothly.

Justin and Pete were so caring and treated my 91 year old with total respect. Mum had a broken hip and leg, they handled her transfer to a stretcher from her bed with unbelievable kindness and care trying to minimize her discomfort. She was moved from one adverse Nursing home to a 5 star nursing home and they fulfilled the brief of quality care throughout. I cannot recommend them enough! We will use them again when mum is well enough to return home. Thank you Justin and Pete, and EMA Patient Transport. Lloyd Yorke (Wellington, Somerset)

A first class service

I had to arrange patient transport for my parents to attend a hospital appointment . My initial contact was with Lisa and then later with Michelle . The whole process was very simple and arrangements made .Their engaging attitude gave me great confidence of their service. My parents wanted to say a big thankyou to both Neil and Justin who kindly looked after them from start to finish. A big trip for my Mum who hasn’t left the house for 7 months. She felt safe and comfortable throughout. The whole package was first class and would have no hesitation in recommending their services for your loved ones.

Nice people

I found EMA online and had three people turn up - plus the Ambulance - to move Mum from home to a home. They were on time and the vehicle was in good order. They were great with Mum and the whole process was very easy.
Thanks to the three members of the team - Samuel who was the leader and also Amanda and Jonathan as well.
Many thanks

Ema ambulance transport

I was knocked over on a zebra crossing and had multiple injuries. I had to go to a rehabilitation centre for assessment for my injuries and Jonathon and Samuel of Ema patient transport were sent to take me as I’m unable to walk. I was in a wheelchair and was put safely into the ambulance. Both Jonathon and Samuel were courteous kind and treated me with the utmost respect. They had to wait almost two hours to bring me home. I am extremely grateful to Jonathan and Samuel. I highly recommend the services of Ema patient transport and especially Jonathan and Samuel. Pat Connery 24.02.26
