“Behind every number is a real person – someone’s loved one. These figures show just how vital our work is, and I couldn’t be prouder of our team. We’re so grateful to everyone who supports us and helps keep this lifesaving service running.”

On scene, the critical care paramedics and pre-hospital doctors that form our aircrew – alongside the line pilots – were called upon to undertake more surgical procedures, blood transfusions and pre-hospital emergency anaesthesia than ever before.

Below you can find a snapshot of the type of procedures being carried out by Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance Charity's aircrew.

Procedural sedations

Last year the team carried out 75 procedural sedations, which enables our crews to perform a variety of therapeutic interventions to reduce pain and suffering following trauma.

Advanced airway management

164 patients received crucial advanced airway management, allowing our crews to maintain and open a patient's airway.

Pre-hospital emergency anesthesia
Pre-hospital emergency anesthesia

The number of patients treated with pre-hospital emergency anesthesia went up by 31% to 93 last year. 

This is a vital yet high-risk intervention allows our team to gain control of a patient's physiology following serious traumatic or medical incidents.

Elsewhere, our aircrew supported 36 patients with blood transfusions, carried out 19 surgical interventions and on 87 occasions the team used the LUCAS machine to deliver CPR.

During 2025, our doctors performed two regional nerve blocks to patients, which is a skill our critical care paramedics will be able to undertake going forwards as the charity continues to enhance its clinical operations.

Wiltshire and Bath Air Ambulance Charity needs to raise over £5 million to deliver their lifesaving service each year.
