My distinguished colleagues:

We are solidifying our policies for carrying family members as PAX on interfacility flights (RW, BK-117)and I'd like to ask of the group, who are able to carry PAX, in the RW setting :

 

• Do you have a written policy?
• Does it include a written briefing/info card? Signed Liablilty release?
• Who's responsibility is it to brief (medic, nurse/rt, pilot, whole crew) ?
• Do you prohibit it or allow it?
• What specifically do you do if there's a problem with the PAX, or the pt. crumps?
• Where do they ride, or is it dependant upon the pt?

 

Any other info would be great.  Please feel free to reply private, or to the group.

 

TIA.
