Financing deal secures the Helicopter for seven years
London’s Air Ambulance, the Charity which runs London’s only Helicopter Emergency Medical Service, is pleased to announce that it has signed a unique research and collaboration agreement with the Norwegian Air Ambulance.
This agreement formalises the existing strong links between two long established providers of physician-led pre-hospital care. Both organisations are committed leaders in the field of quality improvement in pre-hospital care and place research and development high on their agendas.
On behalf of London’s Air Ambulance, Dr. Gareth Davies, Medical Director and Chair of the Trustees, said:
“On the day of the 7th July 2005 terrorist attacks, we believe that all the London emergency service units pulled together and worked incredibly hard. We are very proud of the London’s Air Ambulance teams who were present on that day. The Charity is also delighted with the supportive words from Lady Justice Hallett and the families of the victims.
On 7th and 8th May 2011, over 150 people will brave the 230ft leap off 20 Cabot Square in Canary Wharf to show their support for London’s Air Ambulance — the charity which runs London’s only Helicopter Emergency Service, saving the lives of seriously injured patients.
