This compassionate approach is fundamental to our service, ensuring that patients feel understood and cared for.
Coordination with Healthcare Providers
We work closely with healthcare providers, mental health facilities, and family members to ensure a coordinated approach to each transport. This collaboration involves understanding the patient's mental health status, any potential risks, and the necessary precautions to take during transit. By doing so, we ensure a seamless transition for the patient between care settings.
Emphasis on Dignity and Respect
At LSA Secure Medical Services, we place a strong emphasis on treating all patients with the utmost dignity and respect. We recognise the challenges faced by individuals with mental health conditions and strive to provide a service that respects their individuality and rights.
Comprehensive Risk Assessment
Before each transport, we conduct a comprehensive risk assessment to plan the journey meticulously. This includes evaluating the patient's mental state, potential risks during transit, and any specific requirements they may have. This thorough planning ensures that every aspect of the transport is managed safely and effectively.
