Summary

Do you have a few hours spare to drive patients from Buckingham, Winslow and surrounding villages to their hospital appointments in your own car?

Detailed description

We transport patients who are registered with Swan Practice or Norden House in Winslow, to the hospital appointments.

The majority of the trips are Monday to Friday, although we do have drivers who will take patients to weekend appointments.


The number of requests for trips has been steadily going up over the years and we are seeking new drivers to help cover this increase in demand.


You can specify which days you are free to drive, how many times a week you are prepared to drive and which hospitals you are happy to go to. We pay our drivers 45p a mile.


You will need to inform you insurance company.

You will need an enhanced DBS which we will arrange at no cost to yourself.
