The hours have a total value of £168,000 – the equivalent of 40 life-saving taskings – and demonstrate the impact of volunteering on the charity, which provides 24/7 critical care across Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk.

G-HEMC’s ten years of service

By Christina Smith

On 2 April 2025, G-HEMC will mark ten years of service with East Anglian Air Ambulance (EAAA), and ten years since it became the first H145 helicopter in the UK to fly Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) taskings. During this time, G-HEMC has been tasked 7,928 times, with pilots flying the charity’s clinical team to the sides of 5,193 patients in need of urgent critical care. As we mark this milestone, we’re taking a moment to look back on the last decade of G-HEMC’s service and the aircraft’s impact in your community.
