Rescue service; registration for the examination to prove professional suitability to run a company
Entrepreneurs who want to transport persons by ambulance in the field of emergency rescue/physician-assisted patient transport/ ambulance transport/patient retrieval on a commercial basis must, among other things, be professionally qualified as a prerequisite for obtaining the license.
Description
Anyone who operates emergency rescue, physician-assisted patient transport, patient transport or patient retrieval as an entrepreneur requires a permit. The difference to transportation subject to the Passenger Transportation Act is that here medical care or the special facilities of the ambulance are required during the journey. The paid or business transportation/transportation of persons by motor vehicles in the field of
- emergency rescue,
- patient transport accompanied by a doctor,
- ambulance transport,
- patient retrieval
is therefore subject to the Bavarian Rescue Services Act.
The district administrative authorities in whose areas the integrated control center of a special-purpose association for rescue services and fire department alerting is located are responsible for issuing the permits as the lower rescue service authority for the respective rescue service area (Art. 49 Para. 1 No. 3 BayRDG). The permit is issued to the operator for a maximum period of six years.
The requirements for the granting of the license are safety and efficiency of the operation, personal reliability and professional suitability. The IHKs check the professional suitability with the specialist examination for emergency rescue/physician-assisted patient transport/ patient transport/patient retrieval.
