About us
Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance is a registered charity, established to provide relief from sickness and injury for the people of Dorset and Somerset, by the provision of an air ambulance service, with an air and road-delivered critical care capability. We receive no direct funding from the Government or the National Lottery and rely on the generosity of the public for support. Our operational costs are over £5 million a year and the approximate cost per mission is £3,000. Since our launch in 2000, we have flown thousands of missions. We are tasked as part of the normal ‘999’ emergency process by a dedicated Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) desk located at Ambulance Control (paid for by the South West Air Ambulance Charities) and can attend up to eight or nine incidents in a single day. Our airbase is situated at Henstridge Airfield on the Dorset/Somerset border. From there, we can be at any point in either of the two counties in less than 20 minutes. More importantly, the helicopter can, if required, then take a patient to the nearest Major Trauma Centre in the South West within a further 20 minutes.

Imagine a future where no one is killed or hurt on the road. National Health Statistics state that young people are more at risk of death from a Road Traffic Collision (RTC) than from any other accidental cause. Despite this, there is nothing in the school curriculum to educate young people about the risk. Safe Drive, Stay Alive is a roadshow created to educate young people on road safety, aiming to reduce road traffic collisions. #RoadSafetyWeek To find out how your school or organisation can get involved, please visit: https://lnkd.in/eqSmpk9Z
