๐Ÿฉธ๐Ÿฉธ Did you know a new clinical trial has started, which will see air ambulance crews carry 'whole blood' instead of separate red blood cells and plasma for the treatment of severely injured patients at risk of bleeding to death.

If the unthinkable happens air ambulance crews can be at the scene of an incident within minutes. On arrival they deliver pre-hospital care by stabilising and transferring patients to specialist Emergency Departments. ๐Ÿš

๐ŸŒฌ๏ธ If you spot a helicopter trying to land remember to keep well clear. Move as far away as possible and do not approach the direction of the helicopter until the blades have stopped turning and the pilot has left the aircraft - helicopters create a powerful down wash. ๐Ÿš

๐Ÿš Can you guess the purpose of this specialised equipment? Air Ambulances weigh nearly three tonnes and lack wheels. This equipment plays a vital role in safely transporting the aircraft between the helipad and the hangar at the beginning and end of each shift.
