The lifesaving work of Midlands Air Ambulance Charity will feature on BBC One’s TV series, Ambulance, on Thursday 24th May at 9pm.
The episode will feature critical care paramedic Kerry Hemus and Dr Jake Turner from the charity’s RAF Cosford airbase, responding by air ambulance to a patient with a gunshot wound in Dudley, West Midlands. Viewers will see the medical intervention provided by the aircrew, which demonstrates the advanced care the aircrew can deliver.
The BAFTA award-winning documentary series, which follows the work of West Midlands Ambulance Service and Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, takes a detailed look at the service, highlighting the highly pressurised control rooms and the crews on the street.
Ian Roberts, air operations manager for Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, explains: “We are extremely proud to have been featured in the third series of Ambulance, as we had such positive feedback from our inclusion in series two.
“As a charity which relies on public donations, it’s vitally important that we raise awareness of our lifesaving service, and featuring in this series is a fantastic way for our supporters to see the lifesaving work we do.
“The programme will highlight the vital intervention our aircrew can deliver on the scene to support land ambulance crews, and the positive impact this care can have on the patient’s chances of recovery.”
Ben Rumney, series producer adds: “We were really pleased to work with the team at Midlands Air Ambulance Charity again, as they are a vital part of the emergency service care provided across the Midlands.”
