Patient Transfer Drivers

Our Patient Transfer Drivers (PTDs) are responsible for safely transporting patients from pick up to drop off, including driving and conducting regular safety inspections. PTDs work either independently on our Wheelchair circuit, providing bed-to-bed transfers to patients who are ambulatory or semi-ambulatory, or work with a Patient Care Attendant as a two-person crew on our Stretcher circuit, providing bed-to-bed transfers to patients who must lay down or need assistance navigating stairs. PTDs drive our Ambulances, Buses, and Minivans.

Patient Care Attendants

Our Patient Care Attendants (PCAs) are equally responsible for safely transporting patients from pick up to drop off, with a focus on providing accompaniment and support to patients during transfers. PCAs work with a Patient Transfer Driver as a two-person crew on our Stretcher circuit, providing bed-to-bed transfers to patients who must lay down or need assistance navigating stairs. PCAs work in our Ambulances and Minivans.

Call Takers & Dispatchers

Our Call Takers work out of our sophisticated Dispatch Center and are responsible for taking new transfer bookings, and providing support to patients, medical staff, and field crews by phone. In addition to phone support, our Dispatchers are responsible for daily field operations and ensuring that field crews are assigned to transfers efficiently and that patients get where they need to go on time. Our head office is located in Abbotsford, BC.

Our Specialized Training

In addition to the Driver’s Licence and Occupational First Aid & CPR certification requirements prior to employment, all new Drivers and Care Attendants must undertake our bespoke patient transfer training curriculum, which combines classroom knowledge, practical training, and online components to ensure we operate with the highest standards in the fast-paced world of healthcare. Successful completion of the program and continuous learning is a requirement to ongoing employment.

Hear About Our Impact

“Interior Health is no stranger to the devastating impacts of climate change—notably wildfires and floods, which places healthcare facilities at risk. This has resulted in mass evacuation events of hospitals and residents of Long Term Care facilities. In these situations, we call upon SNT to support the evacuation of our LTC facilities. During the 2024 Kelowna Wildfire, SNT responded quickly to support the evacuation of over 250 residents to alternative care facilities in the Okanagan and Lower Mainland. In our experience, SNT provides a safe, friendly, reliable, and professional service. In addition, SNT’s diverse fleet of stretcher, wheelchair, passenger-seat vehicles, and their sophisticated electronic dispatch system, enables a comprehensive and efficient response.”

“I’d like to share my appreciation for SNT and the outstanding service they deliver. SNT offers safe and reliable transport for patients, many with mobility or cognitive challenges, to access the medical care they need. What truly sets them apart is their incredible staff who go the extra mile in making every journey as comfortable as possible. Also, SNT has proven their commitment to improving patient access and flow by stepping up during challenging times such as wildfires or floods. Thank you SNT for your exceptional service!”

“Since we began using your service, it has opened up the world to our ALS Society patient members. Now I can confidently request transport for high needs people and know that they are going to arrive at their doctor’s appointments and Society events safely and on time. It is such a good feeling to be able to rely on you to assist us with such efficiency. All the patient members comment on the kindness and friendliness of your drivers. Thank you so much for providing such an efficient service.”
