Getting home can involve much more than booking a flight.

Medical repatriation brings clinical decisions, travel arrangements and healthcare handovers into one plan. We coordinate the moving parts so families are not left trying to connect them alone.

Transport options

The right route depends on the patient, not a fixed package.

The recommended transport method follows review of the patient’s needs, journey distance, timing and receiving arrangements.

Road ambulance

Dedicated long-distance ambulance transport with the crew, equipment and comfort requirements agreed before departure.

Air repatriation

Air transport can be coordinated where distance, timing or the patient’s condition makes a road journey unsuitable.

Bed-to-bed transfer

Ground transfers, departure arrangements and the receiving handover are brought together as one joined-up plan.

What we coordinate

The details that make a complex transfer feel manageable.

Every plan is shaped around the available clinical information and confirmed with the relevant parties before travel.

Clinical review

Current condition, mobility, medication and support needs are considered before the journey is proposed.

Hospital liaison

We can coordinate practical details with the sending and receiving healthcare teams.

Route and transport

The route, timings, vehicle or air option and any connecting ground transfers are planned together.

Appropriate escort

Crew and clinical support are matched to the assessed needs of the patient for the journey.

Travel information

We identify the medical reports, identification and travel clearances needed to progress the arrangement.

Safe handover

The transfer concludes with a planned handover at the agreed home, hospital or care destination.

Practical answers before you call.
