The missions captured in More 4’s Emergency Helicopter Medics are only possible because of our supporters.
Thanks to you, our recent expansion to provide a rapid response service across the North East four nights a week allowed us to respond to an additional 239 call-outs within a year.
But four nights are not enough.
We want you to know that the time of day or day of the week does not determine the level of care you receive in a life-threatening situation. We have launched the Critical Care 24/7 Appeal to enable us to do this.
Critical Care 24/7Patient Story: Samantha Sugden
The Great North Air Ambulance Service airlifted triathlete Samantha Sudgen for a second time.
Samantha Sugden was riding her bike through the Lake District, when she collided with a bus, suffering an ruptured spleen and requiring lifesaving surgery to remove it.
A GNAAS doctor and paramedic team flew to treat her at the roadside, before airlifting her to the Cumbria Infirmary in Carlisle.
The incident occurred just fourteen months after Miss Sugden was first airlifted, when she hit a sinkhole while cycling with friends. The second call out was captured on camera by the Emergency Helicopter Medics team.
Tune in to More 4 on Sundays at 9pm to see this story unfold, or read more below.
