London, ABC123 we have a medical situation on board that requires priority at our destination and then PAN PAN PAN, would be appreciated.
Save the heart stopping moment for the real PAN/MAYDAY.
I've found it quite helpful to give London Info a call on Box 2 approaching the UK whilst still with Maastricht/Brest to pass info back to home base if medical assistance is required but it's not a matter of life or death.
