CQC Registration – Ambulance Services is a complete, done-for-you registration package for independent ambulance and patient transport providers in England. It is built for emergency ambulance services, non-emergency patient transport services (PTS), high-dependency and secure transport, event, festival and film-set medical cover that includes transfer to hospital, bariatric and mental health patient transport, and vehicles used to transport people who need treatment to and from special schools. CQC regulates any vehicle designed or modified to transport people who need treatment, so the nature of your fleet determines exactly how you must register — and we handle every part of that for you.
What’s Included in CQC Registration – Ambulance Services
Regulated Activities & Statement of Purpose
- Expert determination of the regulated activities you must register for — Transport services, triage and medical advice provided remotely; Treatment of disease, disorder or injury; and, where relevant, Diagnostic and screening procedures and Surgical procedures
- A Statement of Purpose that correctly declares your services, including the emergency procedures CQC expects you to state (for example emergency tracheotomy, chest drain insertion and intubation) so your registration matches what you actually do
- Guidance on the air ambulance, medical repatriation and blood, tissue and organ transport exemptions, so you register for the right activities and nothing you do not need

Why Choose This Service
Ambulance and patient transport registration is scrutinised closely by CQC because patients are treated in a moving vehicle, often in an emergency. Providers must evidence safe infection prevention and control in vehicles, secure handling and transport of patient medication, competent and safely recruited clinical staff, robust safeguarding, and clear escalation to emergency services. Our package is built around exactly these expectations, so your application reflects how a safe, well-led ambulance service actually operates.
Ideal For
Independent emergency ambulance services, non-emergency patient transport services (PTS), high-dependency and secure patient transport, event, festival and film-set medical cover that transfers patients to hospital, bariatric transport, mental health patient transport, and providers transporting people who need treatment to special schools.
