Safe Passenger Transport Solutions is McElmeel’s specialist range of secure vehicle adaptations and transport products designed to support individuals who present with challenging behaviours. Developed specifically for healthcare environments, our safe patient transport solutions help Healthcare Professionals, Occupational Therapists (OTs), and Case Managers deliver compliant, dignified and secure transportation for patients requiring additional behavioural or clinical support.
As part of our commitment to supporting the healthcare sector, we provide expert guidance, product advice and practical workshops to help professionals confidently navigate relevant Acts, Regulations and transport safety guidelines. Our consultative approach ensures you fully understand the most appropriate specialist vehicle adaptations for your operational and clinical needs.
Our product range includes an advanced in-built Perspex driver-to-passenger safety screen. Engineered with a discreet hidden framework, this high-strength protective screen integrates seamlessly into the vehicle interior. It features a built-in communication window while minimising leverage points, making it particularly suitable for transporting passengers who may attempt to tamper with fixtures. This solution enhances driver safety while maintaining patient dignity and visibility.
We also offer a row 2 to row 3 partial safety screen, designed to create secure travel zones within medium to large accessible vehicles. This configuration allows friends, family members or support staff to travel together safely, even during periods of heightened behavioural distress, supporting both safeguarding and de-escalation strategies.
Our expertise extends to specialist harnesses, postural support systems, and clinical seating solutions that promote safe, comfortable patient transport. These systems reduce movement-related risk, enhance stability, and provide reassurance to families and Healthcare Professionals during every journey.
Additional vehicle adaptations include secure seating systems, non-slip safety flooring, wheelchair restraint systems, and fully customised interior layouts. Each secure medical transport vehicle can be tailored to meet specific clinical, operational and risk management requirements. These adaptations help minimise manual handling, reduce stress for patients and staff, and support full compliance with healthcare transport safety standards.
