A Big region with One shared goal.

HTG UK has acquired Devon based First Care Ambulance, bringing Devon and Cornwall patient transport services closer together.
This move strengthens non emergency patient transport across the Southwest, supporting greater integration following the Devon & Cornwall ICB merger — with no immediate change to services for patients.

HTG-UK chief executive Neil Berry said the decision was based on shared values and experience in patient care.
“First Care Ambulance has an outstanding track record and shares an ethos and set of values that align closely with HTG-UK,” he said. “We are delighted to welcome FCA into the group.”

HTG-UK already holds the non-emergency patient transport contract for Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, and teaming with FCA enables the delivery of a stronger, more resilient service for patients across the region.

We’re pleased to welcome First Care Ambulance and its dedicated teams into the HTG UK group.

The tireless commitment and genuine compassion of our staff shines through in the report and we are immensely grateful and deeply proud of their skills, sensitivity and care.

Last week, HTG-UK were invited by Cleric for a preview of the upcoming system update and a detailed walkthrough of new and existing features.
Our team members, Tom Bussey (Head of IT & Data Intelligence) Dan Hutchinson (Contact Centre Manager) and George Bailey (IT & Data Support) were joined by Simon Hey (Operations Director) and Alex Sanderson (Head of Business Improvement).
The session provided an excellent opportunity to ask in-depth technical questions, helping us better understand how the system works best for us and why certain processes function the way they do.

We came away with valuable insights and actionable tasks that will enable us to deliver even better services for our patients.
A big thank you to Rob, Phil, and Lucas for being fantastic hosts and making the session both informative and enjoyable.

NHS non-emergency patient transport takes to the skies!

The HTG-UK Senior Management Team took a meaningful trip into the skies over to the Isles of Scilly today, gaining valuable insight into the vital transport links that support island life.

Representing our team were Simon Hey – Operations Director, Nigel Briggs – Head of Operations, and Naomi Page – Contract Manager Cornwall & Isles of Scilly. Hosted by Penzance Helicopters, today’s flight highlighted the essential role this service plays in connecting residents to mainland healthcare, especially NHS services.

We extend our sincere thanks to David Page, Heliport Base Manager and the dedicated ground and air crews who keep this lifeline running 365 days a year. Your commitment makes a real difference.

What a great team!

Congratulations to this week’s Team of the Week - HTG Patient Transport team

Ian and Mark are The QEH’s Health Transportation Group liaison team for Norfolk patients.

They are always hugely helpful and supportive with all discharge transport issues, they are regularly out and about supporting wards and the discharge lounge and do their utmost to make sure that patients get to where they need to be in a timely way.

They regularly go the extra mile to make sure that discharges run smoothly, Ian very recently went above and beyond to support a complex discharge for a patient for whom a huge amount of work had gone into planning the discharge and we were all keen to make sure it was a success.

They really are a vital and valued part of Team QEH, thanks to both for their ongoing help, support and patience!
