During the Easter holidays, the critical care team from Anglia One (Norwich) were dispatched to a life-threatening medical emergency in North Norfolk. The patient was six-year-old Albie.
Thanks to you, the East Anglian Air Ambulance crew provided advanced critical care at scene that day, where the difference between life and death for Albie rested on how quickly he could receive advanced treatment, and the speed at which he could be transferred to a specialist hospital.

"I’ve wanted to be a pilot since I was 12 and becoming a HEMS pilot was always my dream and why I wanted to fly helicopters. I feel very privileged to be able to work with such amazing crews and inspirational people at Babcock and EAAA. I look forward to coming to work, the flying is exciting and every day is different!"

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.

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.
