What we do
East Anglian Air Ambulance (EAAA) is a charity providing advanced critical care 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to the most seriously ill and injured people in Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk by air and road.
The equipment carried by EAAA’s helicopters and rapid response vehicles enables enhanced care at the incident scene – when the patient needs it most – such as blood transfusions, advanced pain relief, sedation and anaesthesia, and surgical interventions.
This, combined with quick onward transfer to the most appropriate hospital, gives every patient treated by EAAA the best possible chance of surviving and recovering a life-threatening emergency.
The EAAA crew were with us so quickly that night; their advanced drugs made a big difference. The speed of getting to Albie to a specialist hospital too was crucial. It could have been a different story otherwise. The advanced skills, equipment and medicine of EAAA gave him the best possible chance and our family is so grateful to the crew and to the supporters of the charity who made it possible.

Cardiac arrests account for a quarter of the medical emergencies to which EAAA is tasked. When every second counts, many lives can be saved each year by the combination of early bystander CPR and defibrillation. We deliver free one-hour CPR and AED training to groups.
