Surrey Air Ambulance
Leatherhead Lions, in conjunction with the other Surrey Lions Clubs,
are major sponsors to Surrey Air Ambulance.
Receiving no funding from the NHS or National Lottery, and with annual running
costs of approximately £1.6 million, the Surrey Air Ambulance relies almost
entirely on the generosity of the public to finance operations.
The Surrey Air Ambulance provides a Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) to
the people who live in, work in, or travel through Surrey.
Based at Dunsfold Aerodrome, the highly skilled team of Doctors, Paramedics and Nurses
can reach emergency situations anywhere in Surrey within 15 minutes. With its
life-saving crew, the helicopter reduces the delay for the patient to receive prompt
and appropriate medical care and has the ability to transfer patients to the hospital
or specialist trauma centre relevant to the injuries sustained.
The Surrey Air Ambulance is on standby to respond quickly to 999 calls, flying
unhindered to an emergency scene across Surrey at speeds up to 150 m.p.h, 365.26 days a year.
