Getting to a care appointment when you're tired or weakened is never easy. Seated patient transport in a registered taxi exists precisely for that: to be driven gently, on time, to your care centre, without having to drive or worry about parking. Here's how it works, explained simply.
A registered taxi is a taxi authorised to provide seated patient transport for health trips. That's the case for TR27 in the Eure. In practice, it's a comfortable, clean and suitable vehicle, with a driver who knows the region's care centres and the particular attention patients expect. It's called "seated" transport because it's for people who can travel sitting in an ordinary vehicle.
It all starts here. Your doctor issues a medical transport prescription when your condition justifies it. This document is what frames the use of seated patient transport. Remember to ask for it at the appointment before your treatment, and keep it with you on the day of the trip.
Seated patient transport is for people who can take a seat in a passenger vehicle, on their own or with light assistance. This covers able-bodied patients as well as wheelchair users who can transfer to a seat. If your condition requires you to lie down or to be medically monitored, a different mode of transport (an ambulance) is then the right one.
On the day, the driver picks you up directly at your home, at the agreed time. He helps you settle in comfortably, loads your belongings if needed, then drives you calmly to your appointment. On arrival, he can accompany you to the entrance of the department. Punctuality is essential: a transport delay means a session that starts late, and nobody wants that. For dialysis, chemotherapy or rehabilitation, which come round several times a week, we set up a routine: same times, same driver, same reassuring landmarks.
You call me, we set up your trips together, and on the day I take you to your appointment with complete peace of mind. I know the access points to the region's care centres, in Évreux as in the rest of the Eure and Normandy, and for regular trips such as dialysis, we settle into a reliable rhythm. You focus on your health, and I take care of the road. For the details of the service, see my registered taxi page.
