About us

When London calls, our teams are there, racing to reach those urgently in need of life-saving care. Our vision is to end preventable deaths in London from life-threatening injury. Our mission: to save more lives in London through rapid response and cutting-edge care. We are a charity that works alongside the NHS and our life-saving service is made possible by our supporters.

Critical injury from road traffic collisions, falls from height, assaults and other injuries are the biggest killer of people aged under 40. Our helicopter and rapid response car teams are here 24/7 for every one of the 10 million people who live, work and travel in London. Our Physician Response Unit (PRU) attends emergency calls in the community.

Whether it’s a major accident emergency like the Westminster Bridge terror attacks, or individual emergencies like road traffic or workplace accidents, every day, people across London need emergency medical care, fast. Whenever we are needed, London’s Air Ambulance will be there – bringing the hospital to the scene to deliver urgent, cutting-edge medical care when a life is on the line.
