North West Air Ambulance Charity

Registration Number: 1075641

Description: From accidental injuries to severe medical emergencies, our crew delivers specialist and enhanced pre-hospital care to the most critically ill and injured, and transport patients to the most appropriate hospital to achieve the best outcomes for them. Medical interventions that we provide at the scene of an incident include Rapid Sequence Induction (RSI), administering blood transfusions, analgesia, and many other lifesaving interventions. We are the only service in the North West able to carry and administer blood products outside of a hospital setting, allowing our doctors and critical care paramedics to deliver lifesaving transfusions directly at the scene of emergencies. This early intervention significantly improves survival chances for patients suffering severe or catastrophic blood loss. We receive no government or NHS funding and must raise over £18 million to keep us operational. It’s only thanks to the generosity of people like the community we serve that we can continue flying to save lives.
