Wish Ambulance Scotland

Wish Ambulance Scotland aims to support both adults and children across Scotland by helping them undertake a “Wish Journey” of their choosing.

We will work in partnership with NHS Trusts, hospices, and other non-profit organisations. Our partners will be able to submit a “Wish Referral”, which will be reviewed by our “Wish Makers”. Clear inclusion and exclusion criteria will ensure support is provided to those most likely to benefit, while also considering clinical factors. “Wish Journeys” will be offered free of charge and recipients may be accompanied by two others.

Beyond delivering Wish Journeys, Wish Ambulance Scotland aims to foster compassionate communities - a public health approach that is growing rapidly. We hope to support Aberdeen in working towards the Compassionate Communities City Charter and to encourage more open conversations about death, dying, grief, and life-limiting illness within our communities.
