Neonatal Air Ambulance

At SkyCare Repatriation, we understand that transporting critically ill and premature babies requires the highest level of expertise, care, and precision. Our Neonatal Air Ambulance Service, based at London Biggin Hill Airport UK, is dedicated to providing rapid and safe transport across the UK and Europe, ensuring that even the most vulnerable patients receive the specialist care they need.

Expert Neonatal Teams

Our team is led by our Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Dr Lee Collier, an expert in neonatal transport, and supported by specialist neonatal doctors and nurses. With extensive experience in air medical transfers, our staff are highly trained in managing the complexities of neonatal care in flight. If you want to talk to a neonatal transport expert, we can arrange for one of our team to call you personally and talk you through the transfer process and answer any questions you may have.

State-of-the-Art Medical Equipment

We operate with state of the art medical equipment specifically designed for neonatal transport, ensuring a seamless transition from hospital to aircraft and back to a neonatal unit. Our aircraft are equipped with:

• Advanced neonatal incubators to maintain temperature stability
• Ventilators that cover the whole range of neonatal respiratory support
• Infusion pumps for precise medication and fluid management
• Specialist intensive care monitoring that uses gentle stick-on sensors to monitor heart rate, oxygen levels and body temperature

Family First for premature and sick babies

Being in the wrong place at the wrong time with a premature or sick baby is a waking nightmare for any parent. Our team of specialist doctors and nurses have decades of experience carrying out neonatal intensive care transfers by road and air. We will make this process as comfortable and straightforward as possible by:

• sending our UK-trained specialists to your baby’s bedside to ensure that every detail is looked after to the highest standards
• speaking with consultants and senior nurses to arrange your baby’s admission and making sure every medical detail has been communicated and covered
• doing everything possible to make the journey home not only safe, but as comfortable and stress-free as it can be for baby and parents
• aiming to keep baby and mum (or another parent) together throughout the transfer, explaining everything that is happening, and facilitating cuddles or touching contact whenever safe to do so
• ensuring that precious breast milk is refrigerated and delivered to the destination hospital
• using baby’s own comfort toys and our own soft cot blankets to make sure the flight feels less like a hospital and more like a home away from home
