Within five minutes of receiving a call, the GWAAC Critical Care Team can be on its way to an incident. Every second counts for our crew when responding to a medical emergency. You can make your seconds count by taking part in a fundraising event for GWAAC.

This September 30 passionate supporters will be taking on a brand new GWAAC challenge, cycling from London to Bristol! You can join them by signing up here: 

About GWAAC

We provide emergency care to people who are in a state so critical that they require the specialist skills of our team at the scene of the accident or medical incident. Though we are part of the regional 999 response service and work closely with NHS hospitals, we are a charity funded by local people just like you.

GWAAC saves lives across Bristol, Bath and North East Somerset, South Gloucestershire, Gloucestershire, North Somerset and parts of Wiltshire. Without you, we couldn't do it. It’s your support that allows us to keep the air ambulance going, so our team can keep saving lives.

How we work

We don’t simply fly people to the nearest hospital. Our priority is to get to the patient fast. We treat people at the scene, on the road and in the air, providing complex interventions to stabilise and treat the patient and give them the best chance of a positive outcome. The service we provide is reliant on our brilliant team of pilots, Advanced and Specialist Paramedics and Consultant Doctors who specialise in pre-hospital care.
