It has been quite a busy year to date operationally at both bases. We have flown a total of 479 missions and carried 225 patients so far this year.

Of these, 34% were road traffic crashes and 16% medical emergencies, however whatever the emergency, the skills of our medical teams have made a significant difference to the patients that we have carried, some of whom would not have been alive today, had we not been there.

This is a true testament to the skills of our doctors and critical care paramedics and of course the skill of our pilots who are able to land the helicopter in some of the most difficult places.
