Yorkshire Air Ambulance Saves Lives, One Day It Could Be Yours
About us
Yorkshire Air Ambulance (YAA) is an independent charity providing a life-saving rapid response emergency service to 5 million people across the whole of Yorkshire. Operational seven days a week, 365 days a year, the Charity currently attends over 1,300 missions a year, with an average of 4 incidents every single day. YAA currently operates two helicopters – one based at Nostell Air Support Unit, near Wakefield, with the second based at RAF Topcliffe, near Thirsk. To keep both of Yorkshire's Air Ambulances maintained and in the air, YAA needs to raise £19,000 every single day. The generosity we receive really is the lifeblood of the Charity. The charity was set up in 2000 and with the addition of the second air ambulance in October 2007, the YAA now operate our own Dedicated Air Desk for rapid dispatch of their helicopters to an incident. The swift medical interventions provided by their air ambulance crews have a major impact on a patient's chance of survival and subsequent quality of life. In September 2016, the Charity took delivery of a new state-of-the-art Airbus H145 helicopter. This was shortly followed by a second H145 in December 2016. The latest generation aircraft has a larger cabin and will give paramedics a much more modern medical fit-out to treat and transport often critically injured patients. Replacing the current fleet will ensure the continuation of a state-of-the-art air ambulance service for the people of Yorkshire for the next 25 years.

In July we attended 122 incidents across Yorkshire, with 44 callouts being road traffic accidents. The hospital our crews flew to the most was Leeds General Infirmary. 5 patients that we attended in July required blood at the scene. Without adequate blood supplies, our ability to carry blood on board could be compromised, jeopardising patient outcomes. If you want to help to provide lifesaving blood to the NHS you can book an appointment here https://lnkd.in/ejx7gyR2 Your donation can make a significant difference, helping ensure that we and other emergency services have the resources needed to save lives. Take care out there 💛 #WisdomWednesday #Yorkshire #AirAmbulance #AlwaysReadyAlwaysThere
