    Situation

    Sadly accidents and emergencies don't stop over the Christmas season. In fact with extra cars on the road and probable bad weather, the chance of being in a road accident increases in the days leading up to the holidays. The combination of festive stress, crowded houses and too much food and alcohol means Christmas can be a peak time for accidents at home too.

    Solution

    Wales Air Ambulance operates some of the most advanced air ambulances in the UK, saving precious time and lives. We offer advanced critical care and is often described as a ‘Flying ED’. The on-board consultants and critical care practitioners are highly skilled and carry some of the most pioneering medical equipment in the world. They can deliver blood transfusions, administer anaesthesia and undertake emergency operations at the scene of the incident, before flying the patient directly to specialist care. We rely entirely on your charitable donations to raise £8 million every year to keep the helicopters in the air and rapid response vehicles on the road across Wales.
