Does anyone know the correct translation of this title into UK English? The text is referring to emergency admission by private ambulance, so I presume the term would be "paramedic"? Grateful for confirmation or elucidation!
Many thanks in advance for your help.

yes you're right about 'urgentist' which is French or German, but paramedics is the only equivalent with or without doctor on board depending on the country...and situation...

A doctor who transports human organs
In France only doctors are allowed to transport human organs/tissue. They may well be part of the emergency services, not just ordinary doctors.

accompanying physician
Hi Elizabeth!
As far as I know, there is no specific term or job designation in English for a physician who accompanies the patient on an ambulance or air-ambulance, although the function is usually performed by physicians trained in emergency medicine. Clearly, the term "medecin" cannot be applied to a paramedic, ambulance driver or EMS technician.
The term most used in my experience is "accompanying physician".

Résumé / Abstract
Cette enquête couvrant 92 % des SAMU français étudie la qualification des médecins régulateurs et transporteurs pendant la période de garde et les critères de régulation. Les régulateurs sont à environ 38 % de médecins urgentistes et à 32 % de PHAR. Les médecins transporteurs sont pour 52 % de médecins urgentistes, et pour presque 30 % de résidents, le reste se répartissant entre PHAR, généralistes non urgentistes, et internes de spécialité. Les critères de régulation en fonction du niveau du médecin transporteur montrent une grande prédominance de l'intervention des CAMU en premier départ. Cette situation de glissement des fonctions des PHAR vers les urgentistes est plus nette dans les SAMU non CHU, et met en évidence la nécessité d'améliorer la formation des médecins et de définir un système d'évaluation.
