As the cold months settle over the UK, millions of Britons look forward to escaping the chill and heading somewhere warm — perhaps the golden beaches of the Canary Islands, the sun-drenched coastlines of Spain or Portugal, or even the tropical beauty of Thailand, Dubai, or the Caribbean. For many, these winter getaways offer much-needed rest and rejuvenation.

But sometimes, the unexpected can happen — an illness, accident, or sudden medical emergency far from home. In those moments, you need a trusted, experienced team to ensure your loved one receives the care and support they deserve. That’s where AD Medical Air Assist, the UK’s #1 and most trusted medical repatriation provider, steps in.
