Repatriation / the Faroe Islands

Repatriation
from the Faroe Islands

Professional medical repatriations from the Faroe Islands within Europe and internationally, including ambulance transport, medical escort and full coordination.

Medical repatriation from the Faroe Islands: our approach

Bryan Morgan Care supports patients and families throughout the entire repatriation process from the Faroe Islands — from medical coordination to ambulance transport and international transfers.

The capital of the Faroe Islands is Tórshavn. Vágar Airport (FAE) is generally used for medical flights, depending on the exact location and destination.

How a patient can travel safely from the Faroe Islands abroad

Does a patient need to be transported from the Faroe Islands abroad for further treatment, recovery, family support or a return to their place of residence? In that case, it is important to organise the transport correctly from a medical perspective.

Not every patient benefits from private transport or a regular commercial flight. Professional medical assistance, a lying ambulance transport or, in urgent cases, an air ambulance can provide the solution.

We support patients and families with medical repatriation from the Faroe Islands to destinations within and outside Europe, with one point of contact throughout the entire process, from initial contact to arrival.

♡

When is medical transport from the Faroe Islands required?

A planned transfer, a return to the country of residence or an urgent medical transfer: whenever a patient in the Faroe Islands cannot travel independently or safely, medical transport may be required.

This often concerns patients with limited mobility, a recent hospital admission, a need for oxygen, pain when sitting, a need for supervision or further treatment abroad. We assess each case to determine which form of transport is medically responsible, practically feasible and safe.

🏥

Bed-to-bed service

From the departure address or hospital in the Faroe Islands, through transport and medical handover, to arrival at the destination: we arrange the entire process.

📄

Full coordination

Doctors, hospitals, family, insurers and assistance partners: we coordinate all communication.

We manage the entire process

Transport alone is not enough when moving a patient abroad. Medical stability, documents, handover, timing, destination and any required airline approval must also be taken into account.

We can advise on the appropriate form of transport, contact doctors and hospitals, prepare the medical handover, assist with fit-to-fly documents, arrange ambulance transport in the Faroe Islands and, if necessary, coordinate transport after arrival abroad.

This saves the family from having to contact different parties themselves and keeps the entire case organised.

Some situations from our cases in the Faroe Islands

The situations below, anonymised and partly originating from the Faroe Islands, show how diverse medical repatriation can be: from palliative journeys to ICU transport, medical escorts and complex ambulance planning.

Case 1

Ventilated patient after complications during admission in the Faroe Islands

After complications during a hospital admission in the Faroe Islands, the patient required continuous ventilation. This called for a dedicated air ambulance with specialised equipment, a medical team and close coordination with the receiving hospital.

Case 2

Return after an epileptic seizure in the Faroe Islands

After an epileptic seizure during a stay in the Faroe Islands, the family wanted the patient to be followed up by their regular neurologist at home as soon as possible. After medical stabilisation, a commercial flight with nurse escort was arranged.

Case 3

Medical assistance after thrombosis during a stay in the Faroe Islands

After thrombosis was diagnosed during a stay in the Faroe Islands, caution was required with every form of transport. A nurse escort on a commercial flight was chosen, with an adapted sitting position and monitoring during the journey.

Case 4

Stretcher transport after a hip fracture in Austria

An elderly patient with a hip fracture after a fall during a winter sports holiday could not sit upright for a prolonged period. A stretcher position on a commercial flight was chosen, with prior approval from the airline and connecting ambulance transport to and from the airport.
