MIDLANDS Air Ambulance Charity has now attended more than 80,000 missions – more than any other air ambulance charity in the UK. The charity’s 80,000th mission was to a male from the West Midlands, who had sustained a traumatic leg injury whilst at work. The patient was given advanced treatment on scene by Midlands Air Ambulance Charity’s critical care crew before being taken by air ambulance to Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham. Rob Davies, patient liaison lead and critical care paramedic for Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, said: “Reaching our 75,000th mission in February last year was a major milestone, and surpassing 80,000 so soon highlights the demand for our service.
