Ward Hamilton Patron, London’s Air Ambulance and Senior Vice President, Zoll Medical Corporation
“Dr Paul Zoll’s experiences while an Army physician removing shell fragments from the hearts of wounded soldiers in England during World War II sparked his research from which many of today’s cardiac care technologies like defibrillators, pacemakers and monitoring instruments have evolved. “London’s Air Ambulance has had a uniquely similar and distinguished history of innovation in trauma, cardiac care delivery and new techniques since it was established twenty five years ago. Zoll Medical, much like its founder, whose experiences in England were so important to his future contributions in medicine, is benefiting from its association with one of the world’s leading air ambulance operations and indeed the UK’s. “It is our privilege to learn from this association. We congratulate you on your 25 years of service to the citizens of London and the UK.”

Whilst many of us perform a myriad of roles, within the charity or operationally, we are all united by a common desire to do the very best for our patients, and by an aspiration to excel at everything we do. 25 years of best-in-class service to the people of London has created a reputation for clinical excellence and governance and a compelling brand, renowned internationally. “Any leadership position comes with a sense of responsibility; to our patients, our legacy and our future, and I know each of us accepts that responsibility willingly, and is committed to deliver the next phase of our growth and development. As CEO, I am immensely proud to be custodian of the London’s Air Ambulance brand and I am convinced that we are set up to ensure sustainable success for another 25 years, and beyond.
