Patient Transfer Vehicle: Types of Professionals Involved


There are agencies that offer to take care of a patient’s transport requirements. They can help you with a dependable, professional service with a range of home nursing services to care for the patient depending on their needs, including wound or palliative care. 

In this blog, we will discuss the professionals who are involved in a patient’s care when they require ventilation at home. Their service begins when they are brought home via a patient transfer vehicle by a low, medium, or high acuity crew. The transport options often vary based on what the patient requires, and include a wheelchair and stretcher service.

Professionals Helping with Patient Transfer & Ventilation at Home

Although it takes careful thought and learning, living with any level of reliance on a ventilator can be managed with the right preparations.

The patient may choose their ventilation care to be completely taken care of by trained professionals or have other informal caregivers share it. Regardless, there are certain people who are likely to provide input at the time of preparation.

They are from different disciplines, and while some will meet the patient from time to time to check their progress, others may be available for round-the-clock assistance and expert advice. This list includes the following:

●     Doctors: The patient’s medical team will consist of various specialists based on the patient’s condition and why they require a ventilator at home. Respiratory physicians will also be a part of the team to oversee their home care plan.

●     Physiotherapists: Specialist respiratory physiotherapists will assess the patient’s needs and make changes to the ventilator settings accordingly. They can also help the patient’s family members and caregivers by teaching them about the equipment and advising them on how to provide the patient with the most effective ventilation.

●     Nurses and caregivers: We have nurses trained to make the lives of mechanically ventilated people easier. Once the patients leave the patient transfer vehicle to enter their home, they are the people staying to manage the breathing equipment and to assist the patient every day. They work alongside the caregivers with any personal care and living needs.

●     Family and friends: We value the informal caregivers and close people of the patient. They play an important role in their road to recovery, and we help them learn and understand the patients’ needs wherever required.

Wahat Al Aman provides a bespoke service for each of our clients. Our team of trained physiotherapists, nurses, and other medical specialists will strive to serve you as closely as possible with other allied medical experts to make sure you receive seamless, worry-free care.
