Every flight changes lives. This is Michael’s story.
“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.”

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.
