Total Missions
Since the charity launched in 2000, our crews have been dispatched to patients at the roadside, in the city, on the beach, maybe near where you live. Read about our latest missions.

How we work to make a difference
A 24/7 service
With the combination of a quick response time, advanced critical care on scene and quick transfer to the appropriate hospital, our mission is to save more lives across East Anglia.
First Aid
We're aiming to minimise the impact of trauma in the community by providing vital first aid training, so more people can take action if someone nearby suffers a medical emergency.
Aftercare
The missions we attend are often life-changing for our patients. By offering dedicated aftercare support, we're helping more of our patients and their families with their recovery journeys.
Partnerships
By developing partnerships and collaborations with local organisations who have aligned ambitions to ours, we can continue to do the very best for each and every patient we treat.
Time Flies
We have created our first ever series of podcast interviews with different members of the EAAA family from 2000 to 2020, to explore their fondest memories. We will find out how the service started, the challenges they faced and the lessons learnt along the way.
Listen nowMeet Baby Charlie
This is one-year-old Charlie, and it is thanks to your support that we could be there to help him when he needed us the most.
Baby Charlie suffered very severe burns after he pulled a pan of boiling hot water all over his chest, torso and face. Find out how our HEMS crew worked alongside the EEAST crew and Charlie's parents to provide him with the care he needed.
Read Charlie's storyMeet Doctor Joanna Stevens
“I’ve been with EAAA since February 2020 – which has been an interesting introduction to helicopter emergency medicine service (HEMS) during the COVID-19 pandemic!
One of the highlights of working for EAAA is working alongside a brilliant and dedicated team, who have, over the last six months, taken on the roles of teachers, friends and fellow tea-drinkers. I’m so grateful for the support I’ve received from the crew and pilots as I’ve learnt to do this job."
