Pre-book the appointment letter and we'll fit our day around it. ### Why professional matters Hospital appointments are stressful enough without worrying about parking, missed connections or an unfamiliar driver. A discreet, patient-focused private hire run removes that whole layer. What goes wrong when this isn't planned ## Get this wrong and the whole day pivots around it. The transport bit of a medical appointment is the thing nobody thinks about until it goes wrong. Here's what we see: ### Hospital car parks full or charged by the hour Royal Berkshire, John Radcliffe and Great Western all run busy paid car parks. Circling for a space when you've got an appointment time pending is the worst start to a hospital visit. ### Discharged with no lift home Day-surgery patients are routinely discharged on the day with no transport plan. App-taxis won't always carry someone post-sedation; a pre-booked driver will, and waits while you're collected from the ward. ### A different driver each visit For weekly oncology or physio courses, a familiar driver makes the trip feel less clinical. Patients ask for Nick by name on repeat bookings. ### No one helps to the door Standard taxi drop-offs end at the kerb. We walk you to reception when it helps, and meet you at the door on the way out. How it works ## A simple, repeatable, predictable process. 1. 1 ### Quote Send the pickup, the hospital or clinic and the appointment time. We reply with a fixed price the same working day. 2. 2 ### Confirm A quick text or call locks it in. For wait-and-return, we hold the time after the appointment in the diary. 3. 3 ### Collect We arrive at your door 10 minutes early in a discreet black Mercedes-Benz E-Class — quiet, comfortable, valeted. 4. 4 ### Drop & wait Door-to-door drop at the right entrance, with help inside if needed. We wait nearby for the call back. 5. 5 ### Home Calm, direct journey home — no chat unless you want it, no detours, no extra waiting time billed. Why this matters ## The difference a real private hire driver makes. ### Discreet, unmarked car No taxi top-sign, no livery — just a quiet black Mercedes at the door. ### DBS-checked driver Nick holds a current DBS check and a council-issued driver's licence — important for vulnerable passengers. ### Wait-and-return We can wait at or near the hospital for the call back, so the same familiar car takes you home. ### Help to the door Doors held, bags carried, walked to reception if that's helpful. ### Same driver, every visit Recurring appointment courses are run by the same driver wherever possible. ### Fixed price up front Wait-and-return is priced as a single agreed fare — no clock ticking against you. The detail ## How hospital & medical appointments actually breaks down. Medical transport is some of the most rewarding work NABs does — and the most important to get right. Below is how the routine breaks down. ### Royal Berkshire Hospital (Reading) Lambourn to Royal Berkshire is typically 45 to 60 minutes via the A4 and M4. Drop-off at the main entrance, the Sidmouth Street entrance or the South Block as needed — we know the campus and route to the right door. ### John Radcliffe & Churchill (Oxford) Oxford's teaching hospitals — John Radcliffe, Churchill and the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre — are served by a typically 50 to 70 minute run via the A338 and A34. Useful for specialist consultations and oncology referrals. ### Great Western Hospital (Swindon) Great Western at Marlborough Road is typically 30 to 40 minutes from Lambourn via the A338 — a common run for urgent care, day-surgery and outpatient appointments. ### Newbury & private clinics Newbury Hospital, BMI/Circle private clinics, and consultant rooms in Newbury and Hungerford are short, easy local runs — usually billed as a fixed wait-and-return job for a one-hour appointment. ### London teaching hospitals We run direct to UCLH, the Royal Marsden, Guy's & St Thomas', Great Ormond Street and the Royal Brompton when a London referral makes a train impractical — particularly post-procedure or with limited mobility. ### Wait-and-return & courses of treatment Wait-and-return is priced as one fixed fare for the whole appointment. Weekly courses (oncology, physio, dialysis) are billed at the same fixed price each week, with the same driver — so it stops feeling clinical. FAQ ## The questions we get asked most.
