In this issue, we explore the myriad challenges involved in organising end-of-life repatriations, we look at how technology is making new inroads into the security assistance industry, and we chart the development of employee assistance programmes. We also hear from a range of industry experts on matters close to their hearts, namely the various benefits to assistance providers of visiting air ambulance bases, managing the assistance needs of international yacht crews, and how the assistance industry supports the work of NGOs around the world. 

Plus, we have two case studies involving out-of-the-ordinary repatriations where our authors share their insights so that our readers can benefit from learning about the experience of their peers.
