AirMed announces new partnership with MedAire

AirMed reaffirms its commitment to high quality and risk mitigation by selecting MedAire’s aviation travel safety solutions for its air ambulance operations.

“Over the past few years our geographical reach has expanded dramatically. We regularly fly into higher-risk and remote destinations to evacuate patients,” says AirMed’s director of business development, Jane Topliss. “Due to the nature of our work we regularly receive very short notice to fly to a variety of destinations, some of which may be in areas with potential safety risks. We chose the MedAire travel risk management solution for the analysis and advice it provides about the destinations where we travel so we can provide the utmost duty of care to the patient and our medical and flight crews.”

AirMed will use the information from MedAire Trip Ready, an aviation travel risk management app, and MedAire’s online resources to support their safety management system. In addition, AirMed may speak with MedAire security analysts about any specific concerns and to request Aviation Travel Security Briefs.

“The information we receive from MedAire allows us to save a considerable amount of time, allowing us to focus on providing quality medical care for our clients and the patients we fly.”

MedAire is providing AirMed with a complete security and health update for any region in the world 24/7. All of AirMed’s crews have direct access to this information so they may stay apprised of rapidly changing health and safety situations.

“We have found that by giving the crews quality, vetted information from MedAire as part of our internal risk assessment, our crew and medical teams are confident they have the information and advice to reduce their travel risk,” continues Ms Topliss.
