context_page_description: Air Ambulance Northern Ireland also known as Air Ambulance NI is a registered charity that operates an helicopter medical service dedicated to responding to serious trauma and medical emergencies in Northern Ireland.
  In August 2016, it was announced by the Northern Irish government that Air Ambulance NI was partner with the health service in Northern Ireland to provide the helicopter emergency medical service. The charity works in partnership with the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service to provide the aviation side of the service and fund the non-medical costs of HEMS, with the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service being commissioned to provide the clinical staff, equipment, clinical governance arrangements and operational tasking.
  The service is primarily based at Maze Long Kesh near Lisburn, with a spare aircraft at the secondary base at St Angelo Airport in County Fermanagh. The helicopter has the call sign Helimed 23 in keeping with the Helimed callsigns of all UK air ambulance helicopters, and will typically transfer patients with serious injuries to the Royal Victoria Hospital in Belfast, Northern Ireland's major trauma centre.
