Our doctors, paramedics and pilots take an A&E department to patients in their hour of need. Your fundraising, donations and volunteering make it all possible.
Another amazing display by the RAF Red Arrows. Our doctor, paramedic and pilot team are off to provide advanced pre-hospital care to someone on their very worst day, because we care from the bottom of our hearts.
Beachside, Roadside, Countryside, day and night we are by your side
Many of you will recognise Roger, our Senior HEMS Paramedic. Today, Roger celebrates 20 years of service with the Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance.
Please join us in saying a HUGE thank you to Roger for his unbelievable commitment and dedicated service for the last 20 years 🎉🚁

Congratulations to Doctor Isla Wormald who passed her assessment with LNAA earlier this week. She has now been fully signed off as a HEMS Doctor and can provide hospital-level care at the scene. 🚁
We're gearing up to launch our second helicopter on the Lincolnshire coast. The helicopter will take over from our CCC, which has been operating on the East Coast since 1 June. In that time, our crews have responded to over 30 emergencies. 🚨
We’re extremely pleased to say that we are now in a position to carry out more night missions throughout May! 🚁✨ Three of our doctors and some other crew members can fulfil more shifts with us, which means we can provide around 30 percent night-time coverage this month. 💛
Today we unveiled our new and unique tail design, dedicated to our former patients. The design depicts 25 pair of hands - each reflecting the story of an incredible former patient whose life has been touched by our life-saving crew 💛🚁

A huge thank you goes to a local postman who helped our crew today when they were unable to land close to scene. While making their way by foot, they were waved down by a postman in his van who kindly loaded their kit into the van and drove our crew to the scene.

Today, we celebrate our 27th birthday! 🥳🎉 On 13th May 1994, our crew airlifted our very first patient. A huge thank you to all of our amazing supporters who have helped to keep us flying over the last 27 years. We wouldn’t be where we are today without you. 💛
Looks who’s back! 🤩 This afternoon, we welcomed back our AW169 helicopter after its annual servicing and upgrades. Our iconic yellow helicopter will be back on shift from Thursday. 🚁
Our coastal crew recently attended

Wondering where our yellow helicopter has disappeared to? It's currently undergoing planned servicing and upgrades, and should be back with us mid-December. Here's what it looks like at the moment! 🚁
Our helicopter landed close to the scene of an RTC in rural

and airlifted one patient to Sheffield Northern General Hospital, a journey that took ten minutes rather than one hour and five minutes by road ambulance.

Last night while most of us were sleeping, at 3 am, our engineer Chris was working hard carrying out a required scheduled maintainance on our helicopter.
His efforts make all the difference.
Today is our 26th birthday! 🥳 On 13th May 1994, we airlifted our very first patient. Since then, we have helped thousands of people.
Thank you to our amazing supporters who have helped to keep us flying over the last 26 years. We wouldn’t be where we are today without you. 💛

Our pilots, paramedics and doctors are now back on board our iconic yellow AW169 helicopter, transporting a mini A&E department to patients involved in emergencies when every minute matters. 🚁
Our crew have just returned from their first mission of the day, where the helicopter left our base at 10am this morning. During this difficult time, our crew will continue to respond to 999 emergencies, helping those who need it most. 💛
It’s that Friday feeling! 🙌🏻 Our HEMS team, helicopter and Critical Care Cars will be on call throughout the weekend, 24 hours a day. Have a safe weekend all! 💛

We attended an RTC involving a young child today. Our crew gave critical care before flying the child to QMC. Within minutes, the child was in hospital. We provide critical care by air when minutes matter. Thank you for your support.
