Medway earns air med transport and safety accreditations
Healthcare professionals and patients can be sure that the Medway team is trained and equipped to handle complex transports. It is one of the only fixed wing air ambulance providers in the US to earn dual accreditation.

Lawrenceville, Georgia-headquartered Medway Air Ambulance has earned dual accreditation for air medical transport, including individual endorsements for its adult patient transfers, neonatal and paediatric expertise, and commercial medical escorts. Medway's FAA Part 135 aviation programme has also earned the prestigious ARGUS Platinum certification, the highest possible rating for aviation safety and service. Medway's elite accreditations and its extensive 22 year history of service solidify its role as a leader in air medical transport.

"Earning both the EURAMI and NAAMTA accreditations this year highlights Medway's ongoing commitment to excellence in patient care," says vice president of business development Mark Chapman. "Our achievement assures healthcare professionals, patients and families worldwide that the Medway team is trained and equipped to successfully handle complex transports."

The accrediting agencies, European Aero-Medical Institute (EURAMI) and National Accreditation Alliance Medical Transport Applications (NAAMTA), each set strict air medical transport quality and safety standards for domestic and international flights. The independent audits verify that Medway excels in its medical practice and documentation, quality management system and safety protocol for international and domestic transport.

Both EURAMI and NAAMTA awarded Medway their full air ambulance accreditation, specifically recognising its specialty neonatal and paediatric transport capability. Medway is a contracted provider for paediatric centres of excellence, routinely providing medical flights for the best children's hospitals nationwide.

In addition to the validation of Medway's medical expertise, Medway is certified for operational excellence in aviation. The ARGUS International Base Operations Audit and rating programme awarded Medway the coveted ARGUS Platinum rating for aviation. The elite distinction is based on a comprehensive audit of the aircraft maintenance, pilot training programme, emergency response plan and safety management system.

Independent accreditations and certifications are especially helpful to consumers who seek safe, high-quality air medical transport for their loved ones.

"Our entire organisation is built on a foundation of safety. Protecting our patients and our crews is at the heart of every decision we make," says vice president of flight operations Matt Kinney. "The ARGUS Platinum rating reflects our determination to ensure Medway is the safest air ambulance programme in the country."
