title: The invalid passenger and air transport.
abstract: I have shown some of the problems which can arise when invalids are transported by air. There is no doubt that they are all fully manageable provided there has been adequate planning. Anyone with a problem in this field should contact the relevant airline medical department, or one of the organizations specializing in aeromedical evacuation. In the United Kingdom these are:- (1) Europ Assistance Limited, 269-273 High Street, Croydon, Surrey (telephone: 01-686 0102). (2) St. John Ambulance, Aeromedical Section, I Grosvenor Gardens, London SWI (telephone: 01-235 5231). (3) Transcare Limited, Group House, Woodlands Avenue, Acton, London W3 (telephone: 01-992 5077).
