A pivotal role in international rescue.

摘要

As more British people travel abroad, international co-operation between health-care services has evolved. One of the key professionals involved in repatriating British travellers who are ill or injured are in-flight nurses, who need to have a wide range of nursing knowledge as well as good communication skills. In-flight nurses are generally in sole charge of a patient and they need to be able to deal independently and confidently with foreign health systems and officials, and be prepared to travel to dangerous areas such as war zones.
