One of our avowed principles is the selection of handpicked experts in their field with leading emergency and transfer/ retrieval experience. We have a large number of predominantly Anaesthesia, Intensive Care (ITU/ICM) and Pre-Hospital Emergency Medicine (PHEM) physicians, and strong representation from all three UK Armed Forces services.
Our paramedics and nurses are similarly at the pinnacle of experience, with a majority representation as Critical Care Paramedics (CCP) with regular employment as part of UK HEMS and transfer services.
Maintenance of an impeccable level of medical skills and clinical currency is imperative, and all are annually credentialed by an operational supervisory team with extensive retrieval medicine experience.
