Professional medical repatriations from the UK within Europe and internationally, including ambulance transport, medical escort and full coordination.
We support patients and families throughout the entire medical repatriation process from the United Kingdom, including medical coordination, ambulance transport and international transfers.
The capital of the United Kingdom is London. Medical flights generally use London Heathrow Airport (LHR) and Manchester Airport (MAN), depending on the exact location and destination.
Does a patient need to be transported from the United Kingdom abroad for further treatment, recovery, family support or a return to their place of residence? Then it is important to organise the transport correctly from a medical perspective.
Private transport or a regular commercial flight is not suitable for every patient. Depending on the situation, professional medical support may be needed, sometimes transport lying down by ambulance, and in urgent or complex cases, an air ambulance.
We support patients and families with medical repatriation from the United Kingdom to destinations within and outside Europe, with a single point of contact throughout the entire journey, from the first contact to arrival.
If a patient in the United Kingdom cannot travel independently or safely, medical transport is needed — for 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 supervision or further treatment elsewhere are often factors. We assess each case to determine which form of transport is medically responsible and safely feasible.
A medical transfer abroad involves more than just transport: medical stability, documents, handover, timing, destination and any approval from an airline all play a role.
We support you in choosing the form of transport, contacting doctors and hospitals, preparing the medical handover, arranging fit-to-fly documents, ambulance transport in the United Kingdom and, where necessary, onward transport after arrival.
This means that a family does not have to coordinate with different parties themselves, and the entire case remains clear and well organised.
Below are anonymised situations from our practice, with examples from the United Kingdom and the wider region. They show how different cases can be: palliative journeys, ICU transport, medical escorts, stretcher solutions and complex ambulance planning.
After an epileptic seizure during a stay in the United Kingdom, the family wanted the patient to be seen by their regular neurologist at home as soon as possible. Following medical stabilisation, a commercial flight with nurse escort was arranged.
An elderly ventilated patient had to be transferred to London. Because ventilation, monitoring and safe handover were required, this was not standard transport. The journey required specialised equipment, medical preparation, cross-border planning and coordination with the receiving healthcare facility.
For a patient on a Greek island with limited medical infrastructure, transport to the mainland first had to be arranged before the actual repatriation could begin. The planning combined local ambulance transport, a short flight to Athens and then a commercial flight with medical support home.
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 subsequent ambulance transport to and from the airport.

Depending on the medical situation, this can be by ambulance transport, escorted commercial flight, stretcher flight or air ambulance.
That depends on the patient’s health condition, mobility, destination and urgency.
Based on the medical information, we assess whether ambulance transport, an escorted commercial flight, a stretcher flight or an air ambulance is safest.
Yes. We support medical coordination, handover and communication with hospitals, doctors, family, insurers and assistance partners.
This keeps the entire journey clear and means that the family does not have to contact different parties themselves.
That depends on the exact location, destination and medical condition. Usually, this involves London Heathrow Airport (LHR), Manchester Airport (MAN) or London Gatwick Airport (LGW), depending on availability and the route.
The medical approach remains the same. However, practical matters such as border formalities or handling with an insurer may proceed slightly differently than within the EU; we take this into account when planning.
