New ambulance service partnership takes to the road

Mon, 25 Feb 2019

A new partnership between Isle of Man Ambulance Service and St John Ambulance launched today.

Full-time staff from St John Ambulance (SJA) will handle all planned ambulance transfers for patients on stretchers.

The SJA team will operate between 8am and 6pm seven days a week, to transport patients whose journeys have been arranged in advance.

Isle of Man Ambulance Service says the new joint venture will free-up regular crews for emergencies and mean fewer non-urgent transfers are cancelled at short notice.
