On Tuesday and Wednesday 20th and 21st August I was lucky enough to have an exceptional driver on my visits to Southmead and Weston hospitals. Called Richard, he called ahead to warn me of his time of arrival and was on time! He was very efficient at loading me and my wheelchair onto the ambulance, taking no time at all to secure me ready for the journey (something that doesn't always happen. It once took two men 20 mins to secure me) During the journey he was pleasant and chatty and reassured me about my pick-up times and was on time for those as well. All in all he made the whole thing a pleasure rather than the chore it usually is and I only wish that I could request him for all my hospital visits. Many thanks Richard.
