About

Air Ambulances UK (AAUK) is the national charity supporting the lifesaving work of the UK’s air ambulance charities, enabling them to save even more lives every day.

Air ambulance crews bring the Emergency Department to patients who have suffered a life threatening or life changing trauma or medical emergency; providing advanced critical care to save lives.

On average an air ambulance can reach someone in urgent need within 15 minutes. Anyone, anywhere in the UK can become a patient at any time. Air ambulance charities are collectively dispatched to over 100 lifesaving missions each day across the UK; each mission is funded almost entirely by the generosity of local communities.

AAUK  raises  national  funds  to  invest  in  the  air  ambulance  community  and  acts  as  the  one  voice  on issues  of  national  significance. Our  vision is  that  together  we  will ensure  the  best  possible chance  of survival  and  patient outcome  for everyone  in  need  of  lifesaving  pre-hospital  care.  We  do  this  by supporting, championing, and representing the invaluable work of the air ambulance community at a national level.
