A new website has been launched which will be of interest to anyone involved in the air ambulance community in the United Kingdom.
www.ukhems.co.uk is the new home of UK HEMS on the Internet. We hope that this site will act as a hub of information for anyone interested in helicopter emergency medical services and the provision of high quality pre-hospital care in the United Kingdom and around the world. UK HEMS is a registered charity in the United Kingdom that was set up in 2005 to promote discussion and the sharing of ideas and best practice within the air ambulance community. We passionately believe that helicopter air ambulance services are a vital part of the health care system that enhance survival and minimise disability for the most seriously ill and injured in society.
It is our hope that the information on these pages will stimulate discussion of some of the most important issues facing air ambulance services at a national and international level.
