Did you know?
On average every day in the East of England, eight people require the urgent medical care that can only be provided in the pre-hospital environment by our critical care team consisting of specialist doctors and critical care paramedics. In these most extreme scenarios, the speed at which advanced care reaches the patient can be the difference between life and death.
