🚑 Amsterdam → UK 🚑
Our Senior Flight Nurse swapped the skies for the open road on a land repatriation from Amsterdam back to the UK, safely escorting the patient home with the same high standard of care we deliver in the air.
We loved receiving some photos from the trip.
When you think you're flying solo… then spot a familiar uniform at the gate!
Two medics, two separate missions—and one unexpected airport catch-up.
Turns out the world isn’t so big when you’re part of a repat team on the move!
Love a surprise team moment mid-mission 💙
🌍✈️ Our Medical Director, along with one of our amazing medical escorts, recently jetted off to Boa Vista to bring a patient back to the UK. Not only did they fulfil the patient’s wish of returning home safely, but they also formed a wonderful friendship.
✈️ Recently, one of our Clinical Directors swapped the office for a medical bag and travelled to Malaga to personally bring a patient back to the UK. From departure to doorstep the repatriation went seamlessly…it looks like he might’ve been tempted to bring a furry friend back.

Upon landing, our medic escorted the patient directly to the hospital ward.
Sometimes, our medics are needed for just part of the journey. The patient travelled by ferry before meeting our medic who was ready and waiting for them in Athens. From there, they were safely escorted on the flight all the way home to New York.

We flew one of our medical escorts out to Cyprus to bring home a patient on a stretcher. The flight consisted of a connection at Istanbul with a short stop at the airport medical centre for the patients comfort during the layover. Before landing back at Birmingham.
Our medic traveled all the way to Perth to repatriate a patient back to London, and it seems they discovered a talent for photography along the way! Just look at the beautiful scenery they captured! A heartfelt thank you to Criticare UK Ambulance Service for your invaluable help

Experiencing an illness or injury while abroad can be daunting, but hearing your native language can provide much-needed comfort. A Spanish-speaking medic was required, and we were more than happy to assist! From Albury, Australia, all the way back to their front door in London.
A perfect way to round off the week! Our medic embarked on not just one, but TWO missions in the space of a week: first Tenerife, then Rhodes! An inquisitive captain wanted to know about our medical equipment that was being carried which of course led to an impromptu selfie
