Rotary Club of Birstall Luddites
Club Speaker Helen Murray-Sharpe
Yorkshire Air Ambulance.
Hele visited the club on Mon 2 Oct and updated us about the work of the Yorkshire Air ambulance.
The Yorkshire Air Ambulance is an independent charity providing a lifesaving rapid response emergency service to 5 million people across the whole of Yorkshire.
To keep both of their Air Ambulances maintained and in the air, they need to raise £12,000 every single day, which is the equivalent of £4.4m a year. The generosity that they receive really is the life blood of our Charity.
The Charity was set up in 2000 and with the addition of the second air ambulance in October 2007, the YAA now operate their own Dedicated Air Desk for rapid dispatch of their helicopters to an incident.
The swift medical interventions provided by the air ambulance crews have a major impact on a patient’s chance of survival and subsequent quality of life.
On average, dispatch time is around 2 to 3 minutes and patients are transferred to the nearest major trauma centre, flying at speeds of up to 160 mph.
