These cars are not hampered by these factors, meaning we are always available to respond to emergencies, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.

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\u2019s important we choose the most suitable way of reaching those who need our help.<\/p>\n<p>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 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.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn btn--solid btn--lime\" href=\"https:\/\/theairambulanceservice.org.uk\/donate\/\">Donate<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"block-appeal-strip --no-top-margin wp-block-strategiq-appeal-strip has-background has-sky-background-color\">\n\t<div class=\"container p-0\">\n\n\t\t\n\n\t\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"col-12\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\n<div class=\"donation-bar container p-0 \">\n\t<div class=\"row\">\n\t\t<div class=\"col-12\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"donation-bar__heading\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"donation-bar__icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/theairambulanceservice.org.uk\/your-local-air-ambulance\/wp-content\/themes\/the-air-ambulance-service\/assets\/icons\/heart_lime.svg\" alt=\"Donation Pod Icon\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3>Will you help us save more lives?<\/h3>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t    <div class=\"strategiq-react-form-wrapper\">\n        <div id=\"form-root-6a35148d36888\"><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1000006,"featured_media":0,"parent":203,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-468","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.7 (Yoast SEO v27.7) -
