Company Statement
To provide first class health care to the patients, on time every time.
To prioritise the needs of the patient and their families, ensuring that dignity
and respect remain at the core of our values when treating the individual.
Through clinical excellence and innovative technology we aim to be the best
in providing health care to our patients and customers.
Forward thinking, embracing the challenges of healthcare in the modern
environment and constantly striving to bring the hospital treatment to the
patients at home.
Introduction
The challenge of providing good quality healthcare in the modern
environment is no easy task to undertake, whether its the unstable or
unpredictable environment of pre hospital or community care or the
controlled setting of the hospital environment, the pressure remains the
same. Times targets and cost effectiveness have all become part of the
daily regime of modern healthcare and no sooner as one target is achieved
another one is created. Whether its the emergency ambulance driving to
attend a category A target at 8 minutes, or the patient has reached its 4
hour target in the emergency department, or simply just waiting for transport
home after an appointment. Each time, each target must be effectively
resourced and managed in order to ensure best results for the patient and
cost effectiveness for the healthcare organisation.
At iON we understand the needs of our customers and we work closely with
them to provide a Taylor made service unique to our users needs.
Our innovative approach to healthcare solutions and the use of cutting edge
technology allows us to deliver the best results to our service users and in
turn their patients.
Patient focused, clinically lead and cost driven iON seeks to deliver the best
service from start to finish.
iON works with all types of health care providers, from hospitals to NHS
trusts, ambulance services and insurance companies, event organisers and
local authorities. iON is based on adapting to our service users needs and
can deploy resources at short notice where appropriate.
Our staff at iON are all professionally qualified and registered healthcare
professionals and our management team bring
a wide variety of NHS, private medical and logistical
experience to the company.
If you have a problem, iON can solve it!
After all that is why we were created.
We hope you enjoy reading the brochure

Bariatric Support
The obese population of the country is growing and this group of people
are considered over-represented in their use of the health and social care
services (HSE Report RR573).
The problems associated with the transport of the bariatric patient and their
health is compounded by the risks associated with the greater weight on
those responsible for the movement and transportation and the healthcare of
the patient. iON has centred its bariatric service on the needs of the bariatric
patient vs. the requirements of the staff whom are there to help them.
iON has created a unique bariatric service with a specially constructed
vehicle and equipment that can handle and weight. With the use of loading
vehicles and space age equipment which has been designed by NASA,
iON has the ability to transport any bariatric patient in any circumstance
throughout the whole country.Our specialist trained bariatric crews undergo
intensive training in this field, not only does it include the manual handling of
the bariatric patient but also the unique requirements and risks of healthcare
associated with the bariatric patient.
This service is lead by our bariatric specialist Doctor Johan Du Plussis and all
the patients are treated and evaluated on an individual basis and the patients
needs and dignity and respect remain paramount and the main focus at all
times.
Carbon Footprint
As a provider of NEPTS we are are acutely aware of the impact we have
on the environment and have made a long-term commitment to keeping
environmental awareness high on the management agenda and to continue
to work to develop further initiatives to reduce our effect on the environment.
We have in place an ambitious environmental programme, in conjunction
with the Carbon Trust, to reduce our carbon footprint by reducing CO2
emissions and wherever possible by working with suppliers who have also
embraced the concepts of environmental change management. We are the
first ambulance company in the UK to operate a fully electrical ambulance.
