Ambulance on road in Europe

Western Medical Services (WMS) is proud to offer comprehensive Medical Repatriation Services. Designed to provide safe, reliable, and efficient patient transport solutions for individuals returning to the UK from abroad. With our specialised frontline emergency ambulances, skilled staff experienced in working as Medical Escorts & close partnerships with multiple air ambulance organisations, WMS ensures that patients arriving in the UK can reach their designated hospitals swiftly and with the highest level of care.

Two ambulances together

Blue Light Transfers from Airports to Hospitals: Upon arrival in the UK, patients are met by our highly-trained medical team, who will safely transport them from the airport to their hospital. Our blue light ambulance transfers ensure timely delivery to medical facilities, minimising delays and ensuring patient safety.

 

Plane to Hospital Ward Services: Our seamless service is designed to take patients from the plane to their hospital bed with as little stress and complication as possible. WMS collaborates with air repatriation providers to streamline the transition from flight to hospital, coordinating with healthcare facilities to ensure everything is ready upon arrival.

 

Land Repatriation within the EU: In addition to UK-based services, WMS also offers land repatriation within the European Union. This option is ideal for patients who may require transport across borders within the EU to reach a specialised medical facility or for those needing assistance in transit back to the UK.

 

Bed Admission Service (NHS/Private): Western Medical Services provides a comprehensive bed admission service, catering to both NHS and private patients for international medical repatriations. Our team ensures a seamless transition from air to ground transport, facilitating every step of the journey with specialized care and attention. Working closely with hospitals, private healthcare facilities, and relevant authorities, we arrange for timely and coordinated bed admissions upon arrival in the UK. With a focus on patient safety, comfort, and dignity, our trained personnel manage all necessary logistics, medical equipment, and transportation protocols to ensure the patient’s journey is smooth and stress-free. Our service aims to bridge the gap in international patient care, providing reliable support for families, healthcare providers, and repatriation agencies alike.

 

Medical Escort Services: Western Medical Services provides specialized medical escort services for international medical repatriation, ensuring that patients receive expert care from departure to arrival. Our escort teams include experienced doctors, skilled paramedics, and nurses who accompany patients throughout their journey, whether by air, land, or a combination of both. Each team member is trained to manage a wide range of medical conditions, offering continuous monitoring, medication management, and responsive, hands-on care. We handle all pre-departure arrangements, in-transit support, and final handover at the receiving facility, coordinating every detail to guarantee a seamless and safe journey. With our highly qualified medical escort teams, families and healthcare providers can rest assured that patients receive exceptional care and attention at every step of their return journey.
