At Allied Medical Group (AMG), we specialize in medical repatriation services, ensuring that patients are transported safely and comfortably from abroad back to the UK or from one location to another within the country. Whether it’s a planned medical transfer, an unexpected illness while traveling, or the need for a specialist medical escort, we provide expert care throughout the journey.
With a team of highly trained medical professionals, a fleet of CQC-compliant ambulances, and access to air and ground transport options, AMG ensures that patients receive the best possible care while being repatriated.
Medical repatriation refers to the safe transfer of a patient from one country to another or from a distant location back to their home or a healthcare facility. This service is essential for individuals who have fallen ill or sustained an injury while abroad and require medical assistance to return home. It is also used for patients who need specialized treatment in another location.
AMG provides comprehensive repatriation services, including:
✅ Ground ambulance repatriation for short- and long-distance transfers
✅ Commercial airline medical escort services for stable patients requiring professional care during a flight
✅ Hospital-to-hospital transfers ensuring continuity of care
✅ Bed-to-bed service where our team coordinates the entire journey, including pre-hospital care, travel arrangements, and post-transport handovers
Medical repatriation is required when a patient cannot travel home via normal commercial means due to their medical condition. Some common situations include:
- A UK resident falls ill or is injured while abroad and requires medical assistance to return home
- A patient receiving treatment in another country needs to be transferred to a UK hospital for further care
- A holidaymaker or expatriate suffers a medical emergency and needs to be transported to their home country
- A patient in a foreign hospital requires specialist care that is not available locally
- A family wants to relocate a chronically ill or elderly relative back home for continued treatment and care
Our team at AMG provides a seamless repatriation experience, ensuring that every medical, logistical, and administrative aspect is taken care of.
