What can I say my husband had a horrendous accident whilst on holiday in Greece damaging his spine and leaving him quadriplegic. I found this company quite by chance and wow they have been phenomenal from start to finish, they have arranged bed to bed service back to uk with expert care along the way, all of the colleagues I spoke to Chris, Stuart and Daria were incredible even when I was tearful on the phone. Nothing was too much bother and the price was by far the best I could find. Highly recommend and thank you so much Med ResQ

When you are faced with a medical emergency its a minefield to work out what you need to do. Not all medical repatriation services offer the complete bed to bed service. I can completely hand on heart recommend Adam and Chris at Med ResQ for their advice, service and safe delivery of my brother from Portugal back to the UK. I now understand how complex the process is and the number of people involved so I was very pleased that Adam and Chris dealt with everything from his hospital in Portugal to getting him a bed in a local UK hospital.
The cost was a lot less than other quotes which was a relief as we were paying ourselves The whole process from engaging Med ResQ to act on our behalf to getting my brother home was very quick My brother is safe back in a hospital in the UK surrounded by family and friends. We could even track the progress of the plane while my brother was on board.

We had a road traffic accident during our holiday in the Philippines. My partner suffered spinal cord injury and multiple fractures on her ribs, skull and scapula. They were very professional in assessing, planning and implementing for her repatriation. Good communication all throughout and very compassionate which helped us during the most difficult time in our lives.
They planned thoroughly her repatriation and her safety was the top priority. I personally would recommend their services. I would forever be grateful to everyone who made it possible for my partner's repatriation. Thank you Stuart, Adam and Daria.

I cannot thank this company enough. After a truly traumatic Experience in Luxor Egypt I contacted them to repatriate privately. This was not possible but it did not stop them spending days and hours going through everything with myself and my daughter back in the UK. Making sure we understood everything and getting test results looked at and checked by a specialist. Chris was the consummate professional in all of his advice while being friendly and honest.
I felt like I had a champion helping me. All of this without one penny paid by me or expected from me. Phone calls from the UK to Egypt, advice comfort and a friendly voice at the end of the phone. All of this helped me to make the right decision about my medical care. I could never recommend them enough. Use them and you will not be dissapointed.

Adam and the rest of the team were perfect in their execution and planning. They took care of everything so I could focus on my relative. You can't put a price on their expertise and knowledge especially when your own decision making is flawed from tiredness and stress. Everyone involved was friendly and professional and made time to listen as well.

October 2019 I was alerted my 70 year old dad had had a stroke on holiday in Kos and he had no medical insurance, after flying out to assess how bad he was it was clear the only way he would survive would to be back in the UK, due to how serious his condition was he needed a medical flight. My brother did some research and got 3 quotes for a dedicated flight a bed to bed service.
The Med ResQ quote was the cheapest although still a huge amount of money, the Med ResQ team gave endless support via phone with options and giving medical advice to explain what the Greek doctors were saying. It was days until we could find the money to pay for the flight, at no point were we called or hassled during those days to book anything. When we finally decided to go ahead my dad was in a UK hospital within 24 hours!
They handled everything, contacting Greek hospital, to stroke ward at UK hospital, the whole 24 hours was flawless. When the English doctor and Nurse arrived at my dads bed in Greece i felt such huge relief, the rest went so quick, in ambulance then private plane to UK hospital bed, it was only when my dad was safe and on the ward they left. My dad literally owes these people his life, if it was not for their support on the phone before the booking, and the first class service after, my dad would be dead. 3 months on and my dad is still in hospital recovering. Thank you Med ResQ

December 2019 The Med Resq team were excellent from start to finish. My 80yr Mum had fallen and broken her hip whilst on holiday in Cyprus with no travel insurance. As she could not be operated on in Cyprus she needed to be repatriated. The team met with my Mum and reassured her that everything would be fine. And it was! They liaised with the Cyprus hospital to prepare her for the flight journey, dealt with all transfers and managed her pain throughout the flight and onward journey to hospital in Gloucester. If you are ever in need of their services I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

In trying to repatriate a family member to the UK following a stroke suffered in Spain, Med Res Q were absolutely amazing. From the initial contact I knew they were professional and expedient in their service. The team were available at short notice, returning any calls and responding to any emails quickly. They were a great source of advice at a time when we were totally at sea on what needed to be done.
The team were open and honest throughout and they did not push for the most expensive package, but genuinely recommended the most appropriate package based on our circumstances. I would definitely recommend their service as they went over and above would I could have expected, making a very difficult time that much easier.
