Critical injury happens without warning - a moment that changes everything.

But our team can be there within minutes to make a difference, helping create moments that could otherwise be lost.

Like Louise, who was home alone with her three young children when she suddenly fell unconscious.
Stories like Louise’s are why our service exists. We provide life-saving care at the roadside – helping more families get more time, more memories and more moments together.

We know life can change in a moment, but we'll continue to be there for London, today, tomorrow and always.

11 minutes might not sound like a lot. But when someone is critically injured, those minutes can make a huge difference.

Our helicopter can reach anywhere within the M25 in 11 minutes, with an average flight time of just 7.5 minutes.

From the moment the call comes in to arriving at the scene, every second counts.

Would you know what to do if you had to call 999?

In an emergency, it can be difficult to think clearly - especially when you’re asked where you are.

If you’re somewhere unfamiliar, such as a park, footpath or open space, knowing your exact location can be challenging. That’s where What3Words can help.

Every 3x3m square in the world has its own unique three-word address, which can be shared with emergency services to help them find you.

You might never need to use it, but downloading the app and knowing how it works could make all the difference when every second counts.

🧡 A big thank you to our friends at Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance for helping raise awareness of this potentially life-saving tool - read their full article through the link in the comments.

🚁 or 🚗 - whichever way we arrive, our mission stays the same.

Our rapid response cars are a vital part of our 24/7 service, helping our advanced trauma team reach critically injured patients when the helicopter can't fly.

And while they might look different, they carry the same specialist team, equipment and drugs as our helicopters.

So next time you spot one of our red cars on London's roads, you'll know there's a little more to it than meets the eye.

Critical injury happens without warning - a moment that changes everything.

But our team can be there within minutes to make a difference.

Like Steve, who was critically injured after being hit by a car while out on a run. Just five years later, he watched the moment his daughter crossed the finish line at the London Marathon, raising money for our charity.

We know life can change in a moment, but we will continue to be there for London, today, tomorrow and always.
