London's Air Ambulance is currently working in partnership with a new and exciting company called LIFE.

In May 2008 London's Air Ambulance and The Royal London Hospital helped save Imogen Hicks’ life after a horrendous motorcycle accident, which left her disabled. After returning to work and getting her life back on track, Imogen decided that she really wanted to give something back by raising money for London’s Air Ambulance so they could continue to help others like they helped her. 

Despite mixed weather, well over 1500 local residents visited Harold Wood’s first ever car show, organised and run by the “Petrol Heads” of the local parish church, St. Peter’s. They raised a wapping £3,145 for us!

We were delighted to host a visit for His Excellency, Kim Traavik, The Norwegian Ambassador for London, in July.  He was joined by Steinar Sørlie, General Secretary of the Norwegian Air Ambulance and former Minister, and Professor Hans Morten Lossius, Research and Development Director of the Norwegian Air Ambulance.

The visit was arranged to hear about the recent research and development collaboration between us and the Norwegian Air Ambulance.

Run, conga, skip or walk! Take part in our 5k Fun Run in Regent’s Park on 18th September.  The run is for people of all ages and levels and there is no minimum sponsorship, we just ask that you raise as much as you can. 

Dr. David Lockey, London’s Air Ambulance Consultant & Trustee and Research & Development lead, was made Honorary Professor of Trauma and Prehospital Emergency Medicine by the University of Bristol.

 
This is believed to be the only Professorial appointment in the UK in the new medical speciality of Prehospital Emergency Medicine. The General Medical Council have now approved, as of 1st August 2011, Prehospital Emergency Medicine as a subspecialty of Anaesthesia and Emergency Medicine. 

Our pilot, Captain Neil Jeffers, and doctor, Dr. Tom Konig, are soon to complete the ultimate endurance test, seeing them run 8 marathons in 6 days through the deserts of Jordan, in a bid to raise money for the charity.

Company called 'Air Ambulance Service' is not a Registered Charity

We would like to warn Londoners to be aware of a door-to-door company calling themselves the ‘Air Ambulance Service’. This is not a registered charity and London’s Air Ambulance is not receiving any donations from this service.

On 12th November 2011 we were delighted to take part in the Lord Mayor’s Show. Thanks to the generous sponsorship from Saints, the airfreight haulage company, we were able to take part in the parade, where we showcased our service to hundreds of thousands of people. We received an overwhelming response and were cheered on by the crowds.
