Using a helicopter from 08:00 to sunset, and rapid response cars at night or in adverse weather situations, London’s Air Ambulance is the charity that brings the hospital to the patient when time is critical. The team, consisting of an advanced trauma doctor, paramedic and consultant on most missions, can perform treatments such as open heart surgery, blood transfusions and general anaesthetic by the roadside. By providing treatment as quickly as possible after injury, LAA gives patients the best chance of survival, and best quality of life, after trauma.
In this talk for NLU3A, Yael Sahar from London’s Air Ambulance will tell us about the amazing work they do, serving the 10 million people that live work and travel within the M25, treating an average of five patients every day.
