A patient transport system for transporting a patient from a bed (10) to a stretcher (30) or vice versa, using a bed sheet (80) and a conveyor (40) attached to the bed (10) or the stretcher (30). A first end (81a) of the sheet (80) is removably attached to the conveyor (40) and a second end (81b) of the sheet (80) is free. The sheet (80) is adapted to be positioned onto the patient supporting member of the bed (10) or stretcher (30). The conveyor (40) includes a roller (42) supported by bearings (44). The roller (42) can also be removably received by the bearings (44). The roller (42) can include a telescopic arrangement so that its length can be adjusted. A pawl and ratchet assembly (640) can be provided on the conveyor (40) to prevent unwinding of the conveyor (40). The sheet (80) is removably attached to the roller (42) by adhesive tape or a clip arrangement. A flexible belt (206) attaches the clip (202) to the conveyor (40) and is removably secured to the roller (42). The clip (202) includes a body member (210) having a recess (222) with a plug (212) received therein.
