CASE STUDY How accreditation has helped to ensure a growing ambulance company continues to deliver high quality care BACKGROUND Lifeline Ambulance was established in 1998 and is the largest private ambulance operator in Ireland; the second largest ambulance service after the Health Service Executive (HSE) National Ambulance Service (NAS). It primarily engages in routine ambulance transfers between medical facilities nationwide, for both public and private patients, and also provides routine and emergency transport for organ retrieval teams from the three national transplantation centres. Lifeline also has an overseas repatriation service, as well as providing standby medical cover at corporate, charity and sporting events.Michelle Quill, Accreditation Compliance Supervisor, L
