Pre-hospital and retrieval medicine is an essential component of the Emergency Medical System, critically so in Australia where geographical isolation often restricts patient access to specialised medical care. Retrieval medicine provides not only transport but also timely, high quality emergency care to the patient and a seamless interface between pre-hospital and hospital care. Aeromedical retrievals are a relatively new field of medical endeavour and have evolved rapidly over the last 50 years.
