Felix Platter
The essentials first
Mobimed takes older people to University Geriatric Medicine Felix Platter (Universitäre Altersmedizin Felix Platter) in Basel and back home or to their care home — by stretcher, in a wheelchair or seated, with time and patience.
Reasons for travel
Typical journeys to Felix Platter
- Admission for treatment or rehabilitation
- Discharge home or to a care home
- Outpatient assessments and appointments
- Transfers from other hospitals
Procedure
How the journey works
We collect from home or from the care home and accompany the patient to the admissions desk or onto the ward. We take our time with standing up, transferring and strapping in — we never rush. Mobility aids such as a rollator or wheelchair come along.
Geriatric medicine takes time — so does the transport
Felix Platter specialises in geriatric medicine. Many patients are unsteady on their feet, need help transferring or prefer to travel in their own wheelchair. We plan enough time for this and stay until the handover to the nursing staff is complete.
Mobimed is an independent transport service and is not part of Universitäre Altersmedizin Felix Platter. Please arrange appointments and medical questions directly with Felix Platter. In an emergency, dial 144 — Mobimed is not an emergency ambulance service.

The first IVR-recognised patient transport service in north-western Switzerland
Recognition by the Swiss Interassociation for Rescue Services (IVR/IAS) is not a self-assessment but the result of an external audit of vehicles, equipment, training and procedures. Mobimed was the first patient transport provider in north-western Switzerland to receive it — and still holds it today.
