Emergency Helicopter Medics

We’re pleased to be a part of More4’s Emergency Helicopter Medics, which will air towards the end of May 2022. The powerful series will show our crew in action as they attend critically ill patients across Essex and Hertfordshire.

Viewers will see how our critical care teams, along with other air ambulances from around the UK, bring hospitallevel care to patients suffering from life-threatening injuries and illnesses in a pre-hospital environment. The filming and interviews took place during September and October 2021, with 16 members of the HEMS teams at Essex & Herts Air Ambulance participating in the filming. We hope the stories covered will not only raise awareness of our free life-saving service but allow supporters and our local communities to see the dedication of our highly skilled teams up close. We’re excited to see the final result, which will air on More4 and All4.

Welcoming Celebrity MasterChef to North Weald

We are also set to feature in Celebrity MasterChef 2022, which airs on BBC One on Tuesday 6th September at 9pm. The show was filmed at our North Weald airbase in March to thank EHAAT aircrew and team members from the College of Paramedics for their work during the pandemic.

The College of Paramedics is the recognised professional body for all paramedics in the UK, whose role is to promote and develop the paramedic profession across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

‘Local Girl’ Lisa Snowdon Becomes a Celebrity Ambassador

Eight semi-finalists cooked lunch for 70 guests, including medics from EHAAT and the College of Paramedics, pilots, and charity support staff, designing and creating four dishes in just three hours. Following the recording of the episode, Lisa Snowdon has joined Essex & Herts Air Ambulance as a celebrity ambassador. Lisa, along with the other celebrities, got a rare glimpse behind the scenes of the work carried out by the charity. Raised in Welwyn Garden City and now living in Essex, Lisa said: “I am so excited I’m going to be working with the team at EHAAT. On the Celebrity MasterChef mass catering day, Jane, the charity’s CEO invited me to be an ambassador. Nothing would make me prouder to be involved in helping the team continue to raise money for the life-saving work that this amazing service provides. These guys are real-life heroes and incredible people.”

This is another exciting opportunity to increase our exposure, enabling us to showcase our work to a wider audience. We’re excited to have Lisa with us, joining Ray Winstone as a celebrity ambassador, supporting some of our key events and initiatives in the future.
