£47 could help to fuel one of our AW169 helicopters for the next mission.
£60 could help re-stock one of our medical crew’s clinical backpacks after a mission.
£75 could help fund our team of dispatchers, ready to assess the 999 call, launch the mission and brief the crew.
£5 a month for 1 year could buy disposable tubing that blood passes through. This attaches to our blood warmer to rapidly bring chilled blood to body temperature so it can be safely transfused into a patient.
£7.50 a month for 1 year could pay for seven closed suction catheters, which allow our crews to safely clear secretions from breathing tubes.
£10 a month for 1 year could buy protective footwear (with toe protection) for one of our crew. It is not always possible to land beside the casualty. Our crews need to be able to get from the helicopter to the casualty to help anyone at any time, whatever the weather, so the right boots are essential.
