A quiet country bus journey turned to mass casualties after a traumatic accident Having a medical team at the crash site made all the difference “I just want to say a massive thank you to the Essex & Herts Air Ambulance. There is no doubt in my mind that without them I wouldn’t be here today.” Michael Birch Donate Essex & Herts Air Ambulance is not part of the NHS and receives limited Government funding. We are a charity and rely on the money you donate. Your support provides a free life-saving Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) for the critically ill and injured of Essex, Hertfordshire and surrounding areas. Our pre-hospital care doctors and critical care paramedics provide advanced medical care on-site that is normally only found in the Emergency Department. Once stabilised, patients are rushed to the most appropriate hospital for their needs. This early intervention makes a dramatic difference to each patient’s survival.
