Neonatal Transport Services
SkyCare Repatriation is a specialist CQC-regulated neonatal transport provider dedicated to delivering safe, timely, and expert transfers of neonatal patients. Our service is designed to support hospitals and patients receive the right level of care at the right time—without placing additional strain on hospital’s resources.
How We Can Support Your Hospital
We understand that arranging neonatal transfers can be challenging, especially when internal resources are stretched. Our service offers fully equipped, 24/7 neonatal transport with an experienced medical team, allowing your staff to focus on providing care within the ward while we handle the transfer.
Why Hospitals Trust Us
✔ 24/7 Availability – Our team is operational around the clock, ensuring urgent and routine transfers can be carried out whenever needed.
✔ Specialist Transport Team – We provide a dedicated team of neonatal transport nurses, doctors, and consultants, many of whom have over a decade of experience in neonatal retrieval and critical care transport. Our Chief Medical Officer is a neonatal specialist with extensive global transport experience.
✔ Keeping Your Staff on the Ward – Instead of pulling your own nurses and doctors away for transfers, our team handles everything, ensuring your NICU remains fully staffed to care for other babies. Or if you prefer, choose to send your own team with support from our specialist drivers.
✔ Dedicated Ambulances – We operate our own neonatal-equipped road ambulances, ensuring we can transport patients quickly and safely, whether within the UK or internationally.
✔ Regulatory Compliance & Safety – As a CQC-regulated provider, we adhere to the same strict standards as NHS neonatal transport teams, ensuring high-quality care and robust governance.
✔ Advanced Neonatal Equipment – We are an early adopter of the innovative BP37 active heating system which allows our BabyPod mini incubator to carry babies from 1 to 8 kg. We have dedicated neonatal monitoring, syringe pumps and full resuscitation equipment, creating a mobile NICU environment that ensures the highest level of care during transit.
✔ Advanced Respiratory support – we can provide invasive ventilation, BiPAP/DuoPAP, CPAP and High Flow Humidified Oxygen (Optiflow / Vapotherm) with correctly sized masks, prongs and cannulae
✔ Seamless Coordination – We work directly with NHS neonatal networks, handling all transport logistics, from bed coordination to communication between referring and receiving hospitals.
✔ Rapid Response & Proven Track Record – Our team is trained to mobilise quickly, minimising delays that can impact patient outcomes. With a strong history of successful transfers, we have safely transported newborns across the UK and internationally.

Feedback
What our clients say.
Commercial Medical Escort from Boston, MA to London
SkyCare made a complex overseas transfer from Boston to London feel effortless. Craig and Sarah were outstanding — calm, professional, and always in touch. They handled everything, from visas to flight logistics, with genuine care and attention. The costs were very reasonable, but it was their empathy and support for both patient and family that made all the difference. I can’t recommend them enough.
Vietnam to London — Medical Repatriation by SkyCare.
Fantastic professional company. We couldn’t have done this without them. My friend suffered a stroke and was paralysed on the right side. Due to a technicality, his insurance wouldn’t cover repatriation, so we had to go private. If anyone is ever in the same position, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend SkyCare. They made a stressful situation feel manageable, and I’m so grateful for their calm, capable support throughout.
France to UK — Ski Injury Repatriation by SkyCare.
Fantastic service. I was repatriated from France after a skiing accident with multiple injuries. We contacted Craig at 4am and by 10pm I was home — ground ambulance, air ambulance, and ground ambulance again. Everything went smoothly with incredible medical care and kindness. After two miserable weeks in hospital, I finally felt safe and supported. I cannot thank SkyCare enough and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
Vietnam to London — Stroke Repatriation by SkyCare.
Amazing team of people. My brother had a stroke in Vietnam and the insurance company were useless. SkyCare guided me through the process, sorted everything out, and got him safely home. The whole team were fantastic, but special thanks to the medical crew — Adam and Sarah — who flew out and did an incredible job. I can’t recommend SkyCare enough for their calm, professional help in such a difficult time.
UK to Malaysia — Long-Haul Medical Repatriation by SkyCare.
If you’re in the UK looking for a repatriation company, I couldn’t recommend SkyCare enough. They arranged medical transport for my dad from London to Kuala Lumpur — a 12-hour flight. From my first message, they responded quickly and handled all documents and approvals efficiently. Huge thanks to Craig for making everything smooth and to Nurse Nav for caring for my dad the whole way home.
Spain to UK — Stroke Repatriation by SkyCare.
SkyCare were brilliant with us, helping to bring my dad home to England after he suffered a stroke in Spain. From the moment we reached out to the day of the repatriation itself, the entire team showed professionalism, compassion, and expertise. We felt fully supported and reassured throughout the process. Thank you to everyone involved — I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend SkyCare to anyone in a similar situation.
Las Palmas to UK — Air Ambulance Repatriation by SkyCare.
Thank you to Craig and Ben for organising our return home from Las Palmas. My dad was extremely anxious about the process, but everything ran so smoothly at every stage. Mum is now safe in Maidstone Hospital, and she’s just happy to be somewhere she can easily communicate. The whole experience was calm, compassionate, and professional — we really appreciate everything SkyCare did to make it seamless.
