In the first Assistance & Repatriation Review of 2026, we explore the cultural, legal, and logistical intricacies of funeral repatriation in, around, and out of the Middle East. We also consider how pre-deployment medical assessments can save lives and sea voyages. The burgeoning demand for telehealth among students is covered in our third feature, plus we look at how companies are delivering services that meet that need.

In this issue of Air Ambulance Review we examine the challenges facing air ambulance providers when it comes to recruitment; look at flight-sharing platforms and ask if they can improve efficiencies; and we delve into the latest medications, protocols and best practices for transferring vulnerable patients with psychosis.
