SAVING LIVES ACROSS THE EAST OF ENGLANDÂ
Providing 24/7 lifesaving care
We are an air ambulance charity, bringing 24/7 hospital-level emergency care to critically ill and injured patients in Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and across the East of England.
Our doctors and critical care paramedics are dispatched by air and road to the most serious emergencies, including treatments usually only available in hospital.Â
We answer five calls for help a day on average, treating around 1,100 patients in life-threatening emergencies every year. Our crew is dispatched by both the East of England and the East Midlands Ambulance Service Trusts—caring for a population of over 10 million.
As a charity funded by donations, our supporters keep us flying and saving lives every day.
OUR IMPACT
What we do
Our doctors and critical care paramedics attend only the most serious medical emergencies in the region, bringing the lifesaving care of a hospital emergency department directly to their patients by helicopter and rapid response vehicles.
Tasked by the ambulance service to cardiac arrests, major trauma, road traffic collisions and more, our team can begin advanced treatment at the scene; from administering a general anaesthetic and transfusing blood to even performing surgical procedures, before taking the patient to the hospital best suited for their ongoing care.Â
