A specialist incubator transfer, completed in just 26 minutes 🚁

Recently, our G-CPTZ crew and Airdesk team worked with Clinical Partner Team Embrace to transfer a patient and their parent to York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

The same journey would have taken an estimated 1 hour 44 minutes by road. By flying, the team helped the family reach specialist care much sooner.

A volunteering story with a very special ending 💚

When Matthew and Robyn joined our National Children's Air Ambulance Doncaster Superstore as volunteers in 2022, they were both initially quiet and nervous about stepping into a new environment. Over time, they found confidence, friendship and a real sense of belonging as part of the shop team.

As they got to know one another, a friendship grew into something more — and recently, we were delighted to hear that they got engaged! 💍

Matthew and Robyn’s story is a lovely reminder that volunteering can be about so much more than giving your time. It can create connections, build confidence and bring people together in unexpected ways.

Congratulations to you both from everyone at the National Children's Air Ambulance. We’re so pleased that you found each other, and we wish you every happiness for the future 💚

Two G-CPTZ missions. One day 🚁

Recently, our crew and Airdesk team completed two transfers alongside Clinical Partner Teams NWTS and KIDS.

First, working with NWTS, the team transferred a patient to Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust in just 30 minutes, compared with an estimated 1 hour 21 minutes by road.

Later that day, alongside KIDS, they transferred a patient and their parent to Great Ormond Street Hospital and Charity in 42 minutes, instead of an estimated 2 hours 48 minutes by road.

Across the two missions, air travel saved just under three hours compared with travelling by road.

Two days. Two important journeys 🚁

Recently, our G-CPTZ crew and Airdesk team supported two patient transfers, with a parent travelling alongside their child on both flights.

Working with Clinical Partner Team Embrace, the team completed an incubator transfer to Mid Yorkshire Teaching NHS Trust in 1 hour 2 minutes.

The following day, alongside Clinical Partner Team NWTS, they transferred a patient and their parent to Alder Hey Children’s Hospital in just 55 minutes.

Every mission relies on careful planning, close collaboration and the dedication of our crew, Airdesk team and clinical partners — helping families reach the specialist care they need.
