AD Medical Air Assist – The UK’s #1 & Most Trusted Medical Repatriation Company

When it comes to medical repatriation, trust, experience, and meticulous planning are everything. AD Medical Air Assist has set the gold standard in the UK and worldwide, ensuring that patients in need receive the safest, most efficient, and compassionate transfer back home. With over 100 years of combined expertise, families and patients alike can be confident they are in the hands of some of the world’s most skilled professionals.

Experts in Business Class & Stretcher Medical Repatriation

AD Medical Air Assist specializes in both stretcher and business class medical escort missions, providing flexible, patient-focused solutions for every situation. Whether a patient requires full stretcher support or prefers the comfort and convenience of a business class transfer with a medical escort, the AD Medical team ensures every detail is managed with precision.

Every Mission, Meticulously Planned

Every mission begins with a phone call or email. The clinical team reviews medical notes, liaises with treating doctors, family members, and, when possible, the patient themselves. This ensures the best method of transport—stretcher or business class—is chosen, along with the appropriate level of medical staff and equipment.

“Our approach is all about precision and care,” says David Lockley of AD Medical. “Every mission is unique, and our team ensures that every aspect, from planning to execution, is handled with the utmost professionalism.”

Planning & Preparation

Once transport type is confirmed, flight options are sourced via specialist repatriation travel experts. Visas, if required, are handled by AD Medical. Families are guided through every available option to make informed decisions. Airlines and general aviation companies are contacted to complete the MEDIF (Medical Information Form), and hospital admissions are prepared so the patient can be received immediately upon landing.

Transfers, airport logistics, hotels, and flights are all coordinated seamlessly. Escorts often travel a day in advance to conduct face-to-face assessments, ensuring hospital staff, families, and patients are fully briefed on every arrangement.

Communication & Support Every Step of the Way

AD Medical prides itself on constant communication. A dedicated WhatsApp group connects the escort with four AD Medical team members to answer questions and resolve any issues. Updates are provided at scheduled intervals throughout the mission, ensuring everyone involved is informed in real time.

“The mission isn’t over until the patient is safely handed over to the receiving hospital,” David explains. Following each mission, the escort submits the Patient Report Form (PRF), and the team holds a debrief to review the process and identify improvements for future missions.

A Global Reach with a Human Touch

AD Medical Air Assist has completed countless successful missions across the UK and around the globe. Their dedication to safety, comfort, and professionalism has made them the trusted choice for families seeking reliable medical repatriation services.

Whether arranging stretcher flights or business class medical escorts, AD Medical Air Assist ensures every patient receives world-class care while keeping families informed and supported every step of the way.
