Charity

Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance - Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance relies on the generosity of individuals and organisations throughout Hampshire and the Isle of Wight to keep the Air Ambulance flying and saving lives, as it receives no government funding. The only help the charity receives is through secondment of paramedics from the NHS. We must raise over £3,600 a day to maintain this service and this is only possible through generous public support. Since becoming operational in July 2007 we have flown over 3074 missions - many of these were life saving. From receiving a call, the helicopter can be airborne within four minutes; it can reach anywhere in Hampshire within 15 minutes, and the Isle of Wight within 20. It only needs an area the size of a tennis court on which to land; instead of wheels, skids allow it to land on the wide diversity of terrain that we have within the region. Once the patient is on board they can be transferred to hospital within 10 minutes, falling well within the Golden Hour which is so crucial for emergency treatments. One of the major advantages of being transported by Air Ambulance is that, unlike land ambulances which take the patient to the nearest Accident & Emergency department, you will be taken to the most appropriate hospital for your needs. The Air Ambulance carries not only people who have been involved in some form of accident, but also people suffering from medical emergencies such as heart attacks. It is also used for emergency transfers between hospitals. The EC135 has a number of advantages compared to its predecessor. It has a larger cabin which allows better on board care. The larger cabin is fitted with an additional seat in the back which can allow an extra paramedic or doctor to fly, or a family member to fly with the patient. The EC135 is also cleared to instrument fly which means it is able to fly through heavy or low cloud
