Comprehensive Bed-to-Bed Intensive Care Repatriation
SkyCare provides full bed-to-bed medical repatriation from Italy to the UK, managing every step—from hospital discharge or home collection in cities like Rome or Milan, to final arrival at a UK medical facility.
Our dedicated air ambulance flights operate as fully equipped intensive care units (ITU) in the air, staffed by critical care doctors, nurses, and paramedics. Patients receive continuous monitoring, advanced clinical support, and the highest standards of care throughout the entire journey.
This service is ideal for patients who require urgent medical transfer, continuous supervision, or who are unable to fly commercially due to their condition.
