About Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance

Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance is a vital emergency service dedicated to providing rapid medical assistance across the regions of Dorset and Somerset. Established in 2000, our charity operates a helicopter and a team of highly trained paramedics and doctors who are on standby 24/7 to respond to life-threatening emergencies.

Our mission is to save lives by delivering advanced pre-hospital care to patients in critical conditions. We work closely with local hospitals and emergency services to ensure that patients receive the best possible care as quickly as possible.

With a commitment to excellence, we utilize state-of-the-art equipment and technology to enhance our operational capabilities. Our air ambulance is equipped with advanced medical facilities, allowing us to provide treatment during transit, which significantly increases the chances of survival for our patients.

We rely heavily on the generosity of our supporters and volunteers, as we are a charity funded primarily through donations. Our fundraising efforts include community events, corporate partnerships, and individual contributions, all aimed at sustaining our operations and expanding our reach.

In addition to emergency response, we also engage in educational initiatives, teaching first aid and awareness about the importance of rapid response in emergencies. Our vision is to create a safer community where everyone has access to immediate medical care when needed.

Join us in our mission to save lives and make a difference in the communities of Dorset and Somerset. Together, we can ensure that our air ambulance service continues to operate and provide essential care to those in need.
