Our annual mission stats for 2025

Our crew were called to 1,159 missions over the past year – a reminder of the lifesaving difference made possible by public support. 

From our airbase in Semington, the helicopter and critical care cars responded to an average of three incidents every day, delivering advanced medical care when every second counted. Speed is the our superpower, with the helicopter able to reach anywhere in Wiltshire and Bath within just 11 minutes.
