Your Local Air Ambulance Helicopters
The local air ambulance service gives people the very best chance of survival and recovery. Our helicopter can fly at top speeds of 185mph and carries the very latest lifesaving equipment necessary for the missions we attend.
Our operations team is supported by Critical Care Cars, which provide valuable backup for incidents close to the helicopter base, when the weather makes it too dangerous to fly. They also enable our doctors and critical care paramedics to run a night car service to reach those in need 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.

Our clinically designed aircraft provides a flying intensive care unit for babies and children that need to receive urgent care.
We work with 11 NHS paediatric retrieval teams across the UK, enabling them to bring their specialist equipment on board to safely transfer their patients from one hospital to another. If a child is too sick to fly then the Children’s Air Ambulance fly a specialist team directly to the patient.

We save lives by both road and air. With your help we can save even more.
No one ever knows when a call will come in for our local critical care team, but we do know that people in our community need our life saving services 24/7 and 365 days of the year.
Like on our helicopters, the Critical Care Cars, previously known as Night Cars, have highly trained medics onboard who effectively bring emergency hospital care to the patient – providing vital medical intervention to them sooner. These are the things that can mean the difference between life and death so it’s important we choose the most suitable way of reaching those who need our help.
Right now, we choose not to fly our helicopters at night as we have a good local road network and the roads are clearer at night and this is when the car really comes into its own. However, our Critical Care Cars, are also frequently used within the day to attend emergencies that are quicker to reach by road.
