Understanding Medical Repatriation: What It Means and Why It Matters

Medical Repatriation involves the transfer of an unwell or injured individual back to their home country for continued treatment or recovery. It’s not just about transport—it’s about coordinated care, patient dignity, and timely support.

Situations where this service becomes essential:

• A UK national falls ill while abroad and requires ongoing treatment at home.

• A patient is discharged from a foreign hospital but is unfit to travel without medical supervision.

• Travel insurance or family members request assisted return after an emergency overseas.

At 365 Group, we manage the entire process—securing flights, arranging ground ambulances, providing on-board clinical care, and liaising with medical facilities.

Secure Patient Transport – Travel with Confidence

Many patients require medical monitoring or assistance but not necessarily emergency care. For them, our secure patient transport  option is the ideal solution.

Features include:

• Vehicles equipped with stretcher access, oxygen, and first aid equipment.

• Friendly staff trained in handling mobility or cognitive challenges.

• Scheduled, door-to-door service for hospital discharges, clinic visits, or transfers.

This service is particularly suited for mental health patients, elderly individuals, and those recovering from surgery who need more than just a ride.

High Dependency and Urgent Care Support in Transit

Not every journey is routine. For those requiring intensive clinical support during travel, our High Dependency and Urgent Care transport delivers exactly that.

We deploy advanced clinical teams who handle:

• Patients on oxygen or ventilation

• Cardiac monitoring during transport

• Complex medication administration while en route

These are not ordinary ambulance rides—they are mobile clinical environments designed to protect critical patients in transition.

Helping Patients with Non Emergency Needs

Not all journeys need emergency support, but many still require planning, care, and professional handling. That’s where our Non Emergency Patient Transport service steps in.

Common use cases:

• Regular trips for dialysis or chemotherapy

• Patients with long-term conditions who can’t use public transport

• Planned discharges from hospital to care homes or personal residences

With staff trained to handle a wide range of medical and personal care requirements, every journey is smooth, discreet, and respectful.

Keeping Events Safe with On-Site Medical Presence

Planning an event with a large crowd? You’ll need trained medical personnel on standby—and our Event Medical Cover ensures you’re fully compliant and secure.

We provide:

• First responders and paramedics

• Mobile first-aid and treatment units

• Risk assessments and emergency planning

From sporting matches to public festivals, our medical teams are prepared to deal with anything that arises, giving peace of mind to both organisers and attendees.
