Patient Appointment transport

“Do you need help getting to your medical appointment?"
If you’re going to a healthcare appointment for non-emergency tests or treatment, you’ll normally be expected to make your own way there using your own transport or the range of public, community and voluntary transport available locally.
There are local patient transport schemes that could help you and you may be eligible for NHS funded transport.
Cornwall Council provides information on some volunteer transport schemes (including accessible vehicles) call TAP Cornwall 01872 223388 or visit
