Our Charity operates as the national
Childrens Air Ambulance and the local air ambulance services for
Warwickshire, Northamptonshire,
Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Rutland.
We do not receive any government funding for either of the services and
we rely entirely on donations to raise the money we need for each lifesaving mission.
The Childrens Air Ambulance is an inter-hospital
transfer service flying babies and children from one
hospital to another for specialist care.
We work with 10 NHS paediatric and neonatal
retrieval teams across the UK, enabling them to
bring their specialist equipment on board to safely
transfer their patients from one hospital to another.
If a child is too sick to fly then the Childrens Air
Ambulance can fly a specialist team directly to
them.
With our ability to fly approximately four times
faster than a land ambulance, we can minimise
travel times and the risk for little patients.
Every day of the year, Warwickshire, Northamptonshire, Derbyshire, Leicestershire & Rutland Air Ambulance is
helping save more lives. Our critical care paramedics,
doctors and pilots attend an average of five rescue
missions a day.
Within minutes they can be on the ground delivering
lifesaving care. The air ambulance gives people the
very best chance of survival and recovery.
We are supported by a Critical Care Car meaning
that we can reach those who need us 24 hours a
day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
