Patient Transport
We understand that coming to hospital can be daunting experience and some of our patients need help getting here.
Patient transport is allocated on medical need only, based on your inability to use your own, public or a relative’s transport. Patient transport is only booked by your GP or your consultant at the hospital. If you think you require patient transport please speak to your GP or consultant at your next appointment.
Patient transport can be booked for people who are coming to hospital for an outpatient appointment and those having an elective procedure that will affect their ability to get home afterwards.
Patient transport is not a service for visitors or relatives.

Have you ever thought about being on a clinical trial
Long gone are the days when being in a clinical trial sparked fear. At Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust, patients are given opportunities to take part in clinical trials, in fact when asked, over 90% of patients believe that others should be offered a clinical trial. They are a vital part of learning more about both health and illness, and aim towards making progress for the future.
