Mission Review

Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance is an integral part of Scotland's 999 emergency network. Our air ambulance crews often work with other first responders to get patients the care they need as quickly as possible. Here are just some of the emergency call outs we've responded to recently.

SCAA's Helimed 79 air ambulance was quickly on scene when a man fell from the roof of a building near Maud. SCAA paramedics worked with Scottish Ambulance Service land crew colleagues and Police Scotland at the scene before the injured man was taken to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary by road ambulance, freeing our helicopter team for their next emergency.

SCAA airlifted a specialist medical team to the scene of a one-vehicle road traffic collision near Kintore, with a patient then taken to hospital. SCAA's ability to transfer critical care quickly to the scene of serious accident and illness ensures timely and advanced care for patients most in need.

A medical emergency took SCAA's Helimed 76 air ambulance to a hotel on the banks of Loch Lomond. SCAA was able to land in the car park of the hotel, allowing paramedics quick access to the patient and a speedy airlift to advanced care at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow - just minutes away by air.

SCAA flew to Mull to airlift a man injured in the island’s rally event. SCAA paramedics worked with Scottish Ambulance Service colleagues and rally medics before airlifting the injured patient to mainland trauma care at the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow.

SCAA airlifted a Scottish Ambulance Service critical care paramedic escort along with an injured woman following an accident in woodland near Auchtermuchty. The patient sustained leg injuries in a fall and had to be stretchered across difficult terrain before being airlifted to advanced care at the Major Trauma Centre in Dundee.

SCAA worked alongside Scottish Ambulance Service land crew and Special Operations Response Team (SORT) colleagues to rescue a woman injured while walking in a forested area near Kinross. Our helicopter air ambulance was able to land nearby and the crews worked together to carry the injured woman from the accident scene before she was airlifted to the Royal Infirmary Edinburgh in just 10 minutes.
