Transport is normally arranged by the patient themselves by contacting DHL on 03332 404 909. When referring a patient who needs hospital transport or who has mobility difficulties, please clearly mark this in the referral. This will help ensure that the trust has the appropriate number of staff during the patient's appointment and while they wait for their transport home.
