Mobile clinics
Delivering flexible mobile clinics that bring healthcare directly into communities
Mobile clinics for community engagement & accessible healthcare
Our mobile clinics help healthcare providers deliver accessible, community-focused care where it is needed most. From screening and diagnostics to vaccination programmes and public health initiatives, our fully managed mobile clinics create flexible healthcare environments that improve patient access, increase engagement, and support better health outcomes.
Designed to reach underserved populations, our mobile clinics can be deployed nationwide to support NHS trusts, research programmes, local authorities, and community healthcare campaigns.

Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust's Living Well Service
One third of the population in Cheshire and Merseyside live in the most deprived 20% of neighbourhoods in England. Cheshire and Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (CWP) are helping to address health inequalities in the region by:
- improving access to care through the Living Well Buses
- target identified high deprivation areas and underserved communities across the region
- provide on-the-spot vaccinations, physical health checks, wellbeing, and mental health support
We're proud to provide the Trust with 3 self-drive units, enabling NHS staff to drive to locations and provide clinical services.
Client Testimonial
"EMS Healthcare have developed a mechanism that enables us to get right in to seldom heard communities. The mobile unit provides a very flexible and versatile opportunity for people to get support and we would recommend any other local health system looking to meaningfully engage with people in the right place to consider a similar option."

Client Testimonial
People haven’t been calling ambulances. They’ve said that they haven’t gone up to A&E just because they know we’re here and they can come along and they can get the healthcare that they need here. Having access to the unit has been amazing for our service, it has enabled us to help reduce health inequalities by being able to see the most vulnerable of patients that can't always access the service.

This Van Can: Expanding Early Detection for Bowel, Ovarian & Prostate Cancer
This Van Can is a community health initiative delivering mobile cancer awareness and screening directly into local areas, helping improve early detection of prostate, bowel and ovarian cancer and reduce health inequalities across Greater Manchester.
Led by The Christie NHS Foundation Trust, alongside Greater Manchester Cancer Alliance and the Integrated Care Partnership, the programme uses a mobile health clinic to reach people who may not typically engage with traditional healthcare services.
EMS Healthcare provides a fully managed mobile clinic service, supporting the initiative through:
- End-to-end management of the mobile health unit
- Onboard clinical support, including phlebotomy services
- Planning and identifying high-impact community locations
- Ensuring safe, reliable day-to-day operation in the field
By removing operational burden from clinical teams, this managed service enables partners to focus on delivering vital screening and improving early diagnosis in the community.
Client testimonial
"Using a mobile unit will help us explore how we can address health inequalities, by offering a flexible space which can directly reach into underserved areas and enhance access to community care services. We also hope that our shared approach to using the mobile unit will offer insights into the value of teams working together to address health inequalities."
