Service Improvement

You may have heard about a recent review of the air ambulance service in Wales.

Here you can find information and resources to keep you up to date with the work we will be doing over the next two years to improve our service and inevitably save more lives.

The review highlighted how we are unable to get to between 2 or 3 patients a day and that our service is not being delivered in the most effective way. It is vital to address the issue of unmet need.

You probably have so many questions about what is going to happen next. We hope this space will provide you with those answers, offer reassurance and give you the opportunity to find out more about the work we do. 

Our Service at a Glance

IS designed to improve the outcomes of

patients experiencing life-threatening illness or injury.

 NOT designed to be a safety net for areas of Wales that do not have access to the local hospital.

NOT a service that provides a defined geographical response.
