SAVING LIVES
The Lincs & Notts Air Ambulance is at the forefront of Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) in the UK, attending an average of three potentially life-saving missions every single day, 365 days of the year.
As a Charity we rely purely on public donations. We receive no direct Government funding and not part of the NHS. We provide the equivalent of an A&E department directly to the scene of some of the most serious and time critical 999 calls in Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire.
our patients
Every year our crew responds to an average of 1,000 potentially life-saving missions.
However 2021 was our busiest year to date. We responded to 1,496 missions. Of those, the biggest two categories were medical emergencies, including cardiac arrests, with 491 incidents and road traffic collisions with 452 incidents. The rest of the missions included falls from height, fires, sporting accidents and industrial/farming incidents.
Of the patients we saw, 955 were in Lincolnshire and 436 were in Nottinghamshire. Other missions were located in a number of surrounding counties, including Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Northamptonshire. We really do help anyone, anywhere!
