Wales Air Ambulance

Wales Air Ambulance is an emergency medical service that provides rapid response and critical care using helicopters and rapid response vehicles. Established in 2001, it operates across Wales, aiming to deliver advanced medical treatment directly at the scene of accidents or emergencies. Funded largely by public donations, it serves to save lives by ensuring patients receive timely care, particularly in remote or hard-to-reach areas. The service works alongside other emergency services and can transport patients to hospitals quickly, significantly improving survival chances and outcomes in serious situations.
