Blue Stream Academy is pleased to announce a new partnership with Air Ambulance UK, the national organisation championing and supporting the lifesaving work of the UK’s 21 air ambulance charities.

What does Air Ambulance UK do?

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 16 minutes. Anyone, anywhere in the UK can become a patient at any time. Air ambulance charities are collectively dispatched to over 107 lifesaving missions each day across the UK; each mission is funded almost entirely by the generosity of local communities.

AAUK raises national funds to invest in the air ambulance community and acts as the voice on issues of national significance. Their vision is that together, we can ensure the best possible chance of survival and patient outcomes for everyone in need of lifesaving pre-hospital care.

Air Ambulance UK do this by supporting and championing the invaluable work of the air ambulance community at a national level.
