    Situation

    We recognise we can save more time and more lives by providing higher levels of critical care not currently available. Our current helicopter only provides access to the upper left of a patient’s body, limiting in-flight medical care. Vital life support systems must be disconnected as the patient is transferred from the hospital helipad to the A&E department. The weight restriction on our current aircraft means we are unable to add some of the latest life-saving medical technology.

    Solution

    The new AW169 helicopter will enable us to reach patients and transfer them to hospital in less time; for time-critical patients every minute matters. With your help the new helicopter will take the resources of the A&E department to the most critically injured and seriously ill patients. It will enable our highly skilled Critical Care Paramedics to provide enhanced levels of medical care at scene, helping to save many lives.
