Booking Non-Emergency Patient Transport (NEPT)
NEPT is available to take eligible patients to and from their hospital and clinic appointments.
Patient eligibility should be assessed by their GP in accordance with criteria (found below) set out in guidance issued by the Department of Health.
Where possible, patient transport should be booked with at least one week’s notice of the appointment. The transport service will try to accommodate requests received with less notice, but they cannot guarantee that transport can be provided in such cases.
G4S will conduct patient transport for non-emergency appointments on weekdays where possible and with prior arrangement.
Non-emergency patient transport can be arranged for weekdays and weekends for Queens and King George Hospital, depending on capacity and early prior booking . GP practices can do this by registering and using the online booking portal via https://clericonline.g4s.com/ptonline
