Yorkshire Air Ambulance
Operating a lifesaving rapid response helicopter service across Yorkshire ensuring that seriously injured persons are never more than an average of 10 minutes away from hospital.
The YAA get paramedic care to patients within the crucial 'Golden Hour' and aim to attend critical cases within the 'Platinum Ten Minutes'. They access areas which are difficult or impossible for road ambulances to reach quickly, i.e. coastal, rural or mountainous areas.
Any one of us could need their services!
