Medical Repatriation in a ground ambulance or emergency vehicle is an economical alternative from some locations. Medically stable or intensive care patients who are not fit to fly due to the dynamics of flight medicine will be transported by road ambulance. One benefit of a road ambulance repatriation, apart from the cost, is a single vehicle will be used throughout all the stages of bringing the patient back to the UK. Water crossings are done by ferry or via the Eurotunnel. Our road repatriation ambulances are fitted with patient comfort in mind and advanced medical equipment. They are crewed by Doctors, Paramedics and Emergency Care Assistants – depending on the patient’s medical needs.

Medical repatriation using a scheduled airline will range from a medical escort as deemed necessary by a fit to fly or a full stretcher repatriation which will require a road ambulance at both departing and receiving destinations. A number of seats in the rear of the aircraft will be converted to accommodate a stretcher. This modality of medical repatriation is an economical method of air transport but requires an increase in logistics with the airline (which we take care of). In busy periods, this isn’t always possible due to flight availability and airline carrier.

The best choice for medical repatriations where medium and long-haul journeys are concerned, but also in cases of serious illness, is via private jet. Medical Repatriation back to the UK can be quickly deployed and landed at any UK airport allowing the shortest patient travel time. The aircrafts we use are all fitted with state-of-the-art medical equipment, flown by experienced pilots and crewed by certified flight paramedics and doctors.

Helicopters are available for extrication from remote and hostile regions and can be used as a multimodal repatriation (either direct to destination or followed by a road or air repatriation).
