Without the aircrew, we simply would not be able to save lives. The team operates on the three helicopters, rapid response vehicles (RRVs), two critical care cars and the airdesk, dispatching calls. The three aircraft each carry a crew comprising a pilot and two paramedics or flight doctors, plus full life-support medical equipment. The majority of the flight paramedics are trained to critical care practitioner level. This means they are able to administer stronger drugs at the scene of an incident.
