Welcome aboard!

Welcome to The Air Ambulance Service’s first ever blog post!

This blog will cover a variety of topics, from our views on Air Ambulance related news stories, to round ups of the rescues we’ve been on, to what our staff members get up to on a day to day basis.

So if you have an interest in working in the charity sector and want to know what it’s like, or if you perhaps fancy one day flying a helicopter, or if you have a general interest in the emergency services and the work of Air Ambulances - then this blog is for you!

We’ll be talking about what our crews have been up to in the week and bringing you stories from across the organisation – whether that’s from our fundraising team, our events team, or from people who have been rescued by us.

We are happy to take on board feedback from you – so if there is something in particular you’d like us to post about, please feel free to leave a comment and we will see what we can do.

This is an exciting time for The Air Ambulance Service – we are continuing to expand at a rapid rate and having taken over The Children’s Air Ambulance in December, we are looking forward to it becoming fully operational at the end of this year.

We’re also continuing to provide an excellent Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) at the scene of accidents and illnesses – preventing loss of life and alleviating sickness through sister services Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance and Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Rutland Air Ambulance, who also work together to provide HEMS on the scene of major accidents.

So stay tuned to our blog to make sure you get the low down on everything happening within The Air Ambulance – and feel free to share our blog with your families and friends so that they too can hear all about our work.
