Key points

Dignity and consent

Transport is carried out with respect for the person, their dignity and their privacy, in a calm setting and with an explanation of what will happen. No physical restraint is applied by an unauthorised third party: any such measure is exclusively for health professionals, within the framework set by the applicable regulations. If the person is in immediate danger to themselves or others, call the emergency services.

Life-threatening emergency

For a life-threatening emergency, call the emergency services directly: it is the fastest route and the only one that triggers medical dispatch. This service covers transport arranged in advance or requested without immediate distress.

What affects the price

• timing: day, night, weekend;
