Yorkshire Air Ambulance Charity relies on the generosity of individuals and organisations to help save lives across Yorkshire.
Our People
Our two air ambulance helicopters fly daily. One has a crew consisting of a highly trained Pilot, a Critical Care consultant-level Doctor with experience in A&E and an Anaesthesia specialism, and a Critical Care Paramedic, and the other has a crew consisting of a highly trained Pilot and two Critical Care Paramedics.
