What we do

Our patients are at the heart of everything we do

From accidental injuries to severe medical emergencies, our crew delivers specialist and enhanced pre-hospital care to the most critically ill and injured, and transport patients to the most appropriate hospital to achieve the best outcomes for them. Medical interventions that we provide at the scene of an incident include Rapid Sequence Induction (RSI), administering blood transfusions, analgesia, and many other lifesaving interventions. We receive no government or NHS funding and must raise over £18 million to keep us operational. It’s only thanks to the generosity of people like you that we can continue flying to save lives.

I’m just so grateful. It’s an absolute miracle; it’s like winning the lottery. I can’t thank everyone enough.

The intervention and treatment from the North West Air Ambulance Charity was the pinnacle point for me.

I dread to think what would have happened if the air ambulance hadn’t been there.
