Session 1 / Topic 1
10:00 – 11:30

Double Standards?
Should accreditation be the same for everyone?

With an increase in traveling and demand for accreditation in even the remotest places, can standards stay a one-fits-all concept, or do we need rethink our approach?

Discuss with our panelists on where accreditation should be headed, if start-ups and under-resourced locations should be taken into consideration and where the grey areas limit us.

Panelists

  • Dr. Ludovic Gros (IMA / NATO)
  • Mark Chapman (Medway / CCM)
  • Dr. Lynn Gordon (Charles Taylor Assistance)

Moderator / Co-Moderator 

  • Dr. Mike Braida
  • Dr. Cai Glushak

Session 2 / Topic 2
11:45 – 13:15

“No spare to spare” – what is keeping us grounded?

How do provider tackle the supply chain backlogs in aviation and how they overcome the staff shortage in medical and flight staff?

Engage with our panelists on whether providers need to be more flexible with crew staffing, whether there are alternatives like staff sharing and help us find out how EURAMI can help solve these issues.

Session 3 / Topic 3
14:00 – 15:30

“Too sick to fly – restrictions, limitations and clinical challenges in the Air”

When medicine meets aviation – elevated risk and unforeseen circumstances are business as usual.

Hear what our panelists have to say about when they discuss three common challenges in the air, whether we need to impose a more structured medical risk assessment and how to tackle the challenges with transporting complex patients on commercial flights.

Panelists

  • Dr. Doug Stevens (FAI)
  • Dr. Marek Rozwadowski (Lifesupport)
  • Dr. Joseph Lelo (AMREF)

Moderator / Co-Moderator 

  • Dr. Bettina Vadera
  • Dr. Yann Rouaud

Session 4 / Topic 4
15:45 – 17:15

“Bigger, better, greener, cheaper – Why competitive pricing and sustainability cannot co-exist.”

Following the massive increase in costs, debate with our panelists on whether payors or providers will determine the pricing moving forward, how to stay cost effective – or are powerless to control the factors pushing up costs anyway?

And how about the mission to become greener – is this just wishful thinking or can we find a way to make this happen?

Panelists

  • Brandon Bates (Airmed)
  • Paul Tiba (Airlec)
  • Pascaline Wolfermann (United Healthcare Global)

Moderator / Co-Moderator 

  • Anne Rodenburg
  • Diana Iaquinto
