Ward Assist & Secure Care

We offer critical support to facilities dealing with individuals with mental health conditions or complex needs. Whether in a prison healthcare unit, a secure hospital ward, or a temporary holding facility, our trained professionals can step in to provide additional support and expertise.

Our team members are skilled in de-escalation techniques, and can assist with observation, monitoring, and basic care needs to assist staff working in these often-challenging environments.

Our teams work collaboratively with on-site staff to:

  • Enhance detainee safety by providing a calming presence, and crisis intervention if required.
  • Alleviate the burden and stress on staff, allowing them to focus on their core duties.
  • Maintain continuity of patient care by working collaboratively with existing staff.
  • Offer our specialised expertise in managing the complex needs of patients with mental health conditions.

Private Ambulance Services

Our fleet of modern ambulances and highly trained staff are available to supplement the resources of facilities, ensuring efficient and secure court, prison, or general transfers.

We understand that the needs of the justice system can be varied and often unpredictable.

Our private ambulances are well-equipped to meet high standards of safety, comfort, and privacy. By partnering with Secure24, justice and healthcare facilities can supplement their existing resources, avoid delays and disruptions and prioritise patient care, whilst ensuring the safety of patients, staff and the public.

Non-Emergency Patient Transport Services (NEPT)

Safe and reliable transport for court and prison-related appointments is crucial. Our NEPT services cater to a wide range of non-emergency situations. These include: 

  • Transport to and from routine check-ups, specialist consultations, or ongoing treatments for inmates.
  • Ensuring individuals can attend court hearings without risk.
  • Facilitating smooth transitions between prisons, courts, hospitals, and other healthcare settings.

Our NEPT vehicles are designed to prioritise patient and staff comfort and safety, and our skilled staff ensure that individuals receive necessary medical care and attention. Our efficient transport minimises delays and disruptions to court and prison schedules. 

By outsourcing their non-emergency transport, facilities reduce the burden on their staff and enable them to focus on their core duties. We’ll help ensure that prison inmates and people in custody have access to secure transport and medical care during court and prison transfers.

Secure Support for Section 135/136 of the Mental Health Act

Secure24’s specialised support for cases under Section 135/136 of the Mental Health Act is a vital resource for law enforcement and healthcare professionals. We understand the complexities, legalities and sensitivities involved in these situations. 

Our teams are trained to navigate the complex legal and procedural landscape involved whilst still prioritising patient well-being. Our comprehensive Section 135/136 support includes:

  • Safe and secure transport of individuals detained under Section 135/136.
  • Assistance in completing the necessary paperwork in compliance with legal requirements.
  • Working closely with approved AMHPs (mental health professionals like doctors, police officers, and other stakeholders) to ensure a smooth and coordinated response all round.

Secure24’s expertise in dealing with Section 135/136 ensures that individuals detained under the Mental Health Act receive the appropriate care and attention, whilst minimising the burden on law enforcement and healthcare professionals.
