Air Ambulance
"Air Medics" screened on BBC1 2009, features the staff and helicopters of the Great North Air Ambulances, based in the North East of England. Click the links below to view trailers from the programme.
The Air Ambulance is an important part of the NHS's ambulance service. With 4 helicopters based at Langwathby near Penrith and Progress House near Eaglescliffe, the Great North Air Ambulance can reach anywhere within the 500 mile boundary a lot faster than a conventional ambulance. Many of the places are impassable to motor vehicles thus saving crucial time for patients.
The Great North Air Ambulance is a registered charity (No.1092204), click here to support the charity.
Below are some pictures of the helicopters on duty. (Credit and thanks to the Air Ambulance for the following pictures).
