Repatriation / Ireland

Repatriation
from Ireland

Medical repatriation from Ireland, professionally guided within Europe and beyond, with ambulance transport, medical escort and full coordination of the process.

Medical repatriation from Ireland: our approach

From medical coordination to ambulance transport and international transfers: we guide patients and families through the complete repatriation process from Ireland.

The capital of Ireland is Dublin. Medical flights generally use Dublin Airport (DUB) and Shannon Airport (SNN), depending on the exact location and destination.

Safe medical transport from Ireland abroad

When a patient needs to travel from Ireland abroad for further treatment, recovery, family support or a return to their place of residence, medically appropriate transport planning is essential.

Some patients cannot simply travel by private transport or on a regular commercial flight. Professional medical assistance is then required, sometimes in a lying-down ambulance, and in urgent or complex cases, an air ambulance.

We support patients and families with medical repatriation from Ireland to destinations within and outside Europe, with a single point of contact throughout the entire journey, from first contact to arrival.

When should medical repatriation from Ireland be arranged?

Medical transport from Ireland abroad may be necessary when a patient cannot travel independently or safely. This may involve a planned transfer, a return to their country of residence or an urgent medical transfer.

Limited mobility, a recent hospital admission, the need for oxygen, pain when sitting, the need for monitoring or further treatment abroad are common situations. For each case, we assess which form of transport is medically appropriate, feasible and safe.

From first contact to arrival: we arrange everything

Medical transport abroad requires more than just transportation. Medical stability, documents, handover, timing, destination and any approval from airlines must all be taken into account.

Advice on the form of transport, contact with doctors and hospitals, preparation of the handover, fit-to-fly documents, ambulance transport in Ireland and transport after arrival: we take care of all of this.

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

Some situations from our cases in Ireland

Below are anonymised situations from our practice, with examples from Ireland and the wider region. They show how different cases can be: palliative journeys, ICU transport, medical escorts, stretcher solutions and complex ambulance planning.

Case 1

Repatriation after a stroke during a stay in Ireland

After suffering a stroke during a stay in Ireland, intensive medical monitoring was necessary throughout the entire journey home. A carefully planned air ambulance with continuous monitoring and a specialised medical team was selected.

Case 2

Stretcher transport after a diving accident in Ireland

After a diving accident off the coast of Ireland, the patient could not sit upright for extended periods. A stretcher position on a commercial flight was arranged, with prior medical approval from the airline and subsequent ambulance transport.

Case 3

Ventilated patient after complications during admission in Ireland

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

Case 4

Dying patient from Paris to Copenhagen

An elderly patient with advanced cancer, a ruptured tumour and a risk of bleeding had to be transported from Paris to Copenhagen. Flying was not medically advisable. The journey was planned by road with medical assistance, comfort care, risk assessment and clear arrangements for the handover on arrival.
