Assistance to Repatriation
Medical Transport Coordination
Connecting the clinical plan to the right transport solution.
Medical transport is most effective when it is planned as part of the wider case rather than treated as a separate booking. SkyCare Assistance coordinates the clinical, logistical and receiving arrangements needed to move patients safely between countries and healthcare facilities.
Choosing the appropriate transport pathway
The correct solution depends on the patient’s clinical condition, mobility, oxygen and monitoring requirements, journey length, route, airport access and receiving arrangements. Options may include commercial medical escort, stretcher travel, road ambulance or dedicated air ambulance.
Bed-to-bed coordination
Where appropriate, we can coordinate collection from the treating hospital, ground transfers, airport or airline arrangements, in-transit medical support and onward admission at the receiving destination.
Backed by established SkyCare transport capability
SkyCare Assistance benefits from the wider SkyCare group’s established medical transport experience. Detailed information on medical repatriation, air ambulance and commercial medical escort is available on the main SkyCare website.
Fewer handovers, clearer accountability
Where SkyCare is able to manage both the case and the transport pathway, clients benefit from fewer operational handovers and a clearer line of responsibility from clinical planning through to final patient handover.
