THE Midlands Air Ambulance has reached a milestone after completing its 80,000th mission.

It means the lifesaving service has now attended more incidents than any other air ambulance charity n the UK.

Three helicopters and a fleet of critical care cars currently operate across the region to provide rapid pre-hospital care in emergencies.

Rob Davies, patient liaison lead and critical care paramedic for Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, said:

> “Reaching our 75,000th mission in February last year was a major milestone – and surpassing 80,000 so soon highlights the demand for our service.  
>  
> “Our capabilities have come a long way since that very first mission. With continued investment and unwavering support, we now operate 24-7 delivering hospital-level care directly at the scene of a traumatic or medical emergency.  
>  
> “Our crews administer advanced treatments and medicines that support in managing each patient’s needs in the crucial period immediately after an incident.  
>  
> “This achievement is a powerful reflection of the dedication shown by our crew and the wider emergency services response teams.  
>  
> “We’re truly grateful to everyone who has played a part in helping us reach this milestone – who, at times, operate in challenging and dangerous environments to deliver critical care to those in urgent need.”
