Please will you help crews be best prepared for any emergency?
Every single day, through all the ups and downs of life, our team’s experience, training and equipment are put to the test – and never more so than during challenging winch rescues.
No rescue is ever the same – and winch rescues often take place in the most hostile terrain or hazardous weather conditions. Our pilots and aircrew officers have to carefully assess the risks and formulate the safest, workable plan, right there on the spot, to extract the patient from their dangerous situation. Then, with immeasurable skill, the pilot holds the chopper steady, while the winch operator lowers a doctor, paramedic or rescue crew officer down to the patient.
When someone is sick or injured, winch rescues bring specialised medical care to people in even the most inaccessible places. Often, when there isn’t a moment to waste.
Please donate to help keep our hard working teams trained, equipped and ready to save lives, no matter what each day brings.
