Where does a lifesaving mission begin?

You might be familiar with the flashing blue lights of our cars, or the whirring blades of our helicopter, but our response starts long before our crews reach a patient. 🚁

Our crews are called out an average of nine times a day. Behind the scenes, our dispatch assistants are in the control room, coordinating a response, gathering patient information and helping get the crew to the right place when every second counts. ⏰

But what exactly happens in the control room, and how do our dispatch assistants help make each lifesaving mission possible?

Last chance to see your name on board. 🚁

The first batch of names are due to be printed at the end of this month, so now’s your last chance to secure your spot on board our Helicopter.

Do you know someone that would love to see their name in the sky? With just 65 days left until Christmas, maybe this could be the perfect gift for a loved one this year.

What does TV get right about CPR, and what could be done better? 💓

recently aired its 40th anniversary special. In the episode, we see a character attempt to save a colleague’s life. But how does the CPR measure up?

Our Consultant Paramedic, Mark, takes a closer look at the scene, sharing what to remember if you ever find yourself in an emergency. 📺 🚁

When Millie came off her horse in 2025, her life was changed in an instant. Millie suffered a significant head injury and remained in the neurological intensive care unit for nine days after being placed into an induced coma.

Thanks to the vital role our crew played on scene and the support offered by our Aftercare team, Millie has been able to enjoy being back in the saddle once again. ❤

Millie’s parent’s said “We’re filled with gratitude that Thames Valley Air Ambulance came into our lives. They made the worst times bearable.”.

As an independent charity, we receive no regular government or NHS funding. Everything we do – at the scene of the emergency and beyond - is only possible because of people like you.

Have you written your will?

In the UK, only around 37% of adults have one in place. There could be many reasons why you haven’t got around to it yet, but whatever stage of life you’re in, having your wishes in writing can help keep the people and causes close to your heart looked after. ❤️

As part of Free Wills Month this October, we’ve partnered with Octopus Legacy to give you the chance to write or update yours for FREE.

After providing for your loved ones, a gift to Thames Valley Air Ambulance can help ensure we can be there for people across the region for years to come. In fact, one in five of our missions is funded by gifts in Wills.
