IPRS Aeromed

IPRS Aeromed is one of the UK’s leading independent suppliers of medical repatriations, both inbound and to destinations globally. We also provide expert clinical solutions across a variety of specialist markets and sectors, specialising in security-based environments including court custody suites, and other custodial settings.

The business was initially established in 2001 under the name of Aeromed 365 to offer a solution to manage the time consuming and complex aspects of international medical repatriations, benefitting assistance companies, insurers, and private individuals alike.

Following a number of years of successful involvement with the IPRS Group, Aeromed 365 was acquired in 2014 and renamed IPRS Aeromed. Since then, the business has continued to grow substantially and we have recently doubled our in-house team, and greatly expanded our bank of expert clinical contractors.

New business opportunities mean that we continue to experience rapid expansion through existing and new markets.

The IPRS Aeromed operational head office is based in the South-East of England within easy reach of both London Gatwick & London Heathrow international airports.
