About SkyCare
UK medical repatriation delivered by SkyCare doctors, nurses and paramedics, with 24/7 operational support.
Who is SkyCare Repatriation?
SkyCare Repatriation is a UK medical repatriation provider specialising in international patient transfers by air ambulance, commercial airline medical escort and European road ambulance. Our doctors, nurses and paramedics provide the patient’s medical care during repatriation, supported by a 24/7 operations team managing the transport and international logistics around each journey.
We support private patients and families, hospitals, embassies, insurers and assistance companies. Every transfer is planned around the patient’s medical condition, mobility, treatment needs, route and destination.
Who provides the medical care during a SkyCare repatriation?
The patient is cared for by the SkyCare clinical team. Our doctors, nurses and paramedics assess the patient, determine the level of medical support required and accompany the journey when clinical care is needed. Care continues from collection through transport to handover at the receiving hospital, care facility or home.
Depending on the patient’s condition, the journey may involve a dedicated air ambulance, a commercial flight with a medical escort, a European road ambulance, or specialist neonatal and paediatric support.
How do our clinical and operations teams work together?
SkyCare provides the medical expertise and manages the transfer as one complete bed-to-bed service. The clinical team is responsible for the patient’s medical assessment and care, while the operations team coordinates the practical elements needed to make the journey happen safely and efficiently.
This can include reviewing medical information, liaising with treating and receiving facilities, arranging ground transport, planning flights, coordinating airport requirements and preparing for clinical handover at the destination.
Our medical and operations team brings together the clinicians caring for the patient and the coordinators managing the complex international logistics around them.
The transport method may change from one patient or route to another. The standard of SkyCare medical care does not.
