AIR AMBULANCES UK (AAUK) IS THE NATIONAL CHARITY SUPPORTING THE LIFESAVING WORK OF THE UK’S AIR AMBULANCE CHARITIES, ENABLING THEM TO SAVE EVEN MORE LIVES EVERY DAY.
Air ambulance crews bring the Emergency Department to patients who have suffered a life threatening or life changing trauma or medical emergency; providing advanced critical care to save lives.
On average an air ambulance can reach someone in urgent need within 15 minutes. Anyone, anywhere in the UK can become a patient at any time. Air ambulance charities are collectively dispatched to over 100 lifesaving missions each day across the UK; each mission is funded almost entirely by the generosity of local communities.
Our vision is that together we will ensure the best possible chance of survival and patient outcome for everyone in need of lifesaving pre-hospital care.
We do this by supporting, championing, and representing the invaluable work of the air ambulance community at a national level.
