{{Use dmy dates|date=June 2017}}{{Use British English|date=June 2017}}Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance is an organisation which assists the Scottish Ambulance Service with emergency medical services through the provision of a helicopter air ambulance.[1] The helicopter is run by a registered charity, hoping to raise money from public and private donations in excess of £1.5{{nbsp}}million every year.[2]

The air ambulance works alongside and complements the state-funded aircraft that also operate across Scotland.[3] Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance consists of a Eurocopter EC-135 airframe crewed by Scottish Ambulance Service paramedics. The aircraft is based at Perth Airport and tasking is from the SAS ambulance control centre at Cardonald. {{As of|2017|March}} they have flown 1,300 missions.[4]

History

It commenced operations in May 2013 with a Bolkow 105 airframe and flew 40 missions in the first month.[5] After two months the service changed the hours it operated, allowing deployment later in the day. This change was to make the ambulance available at times of high demand.[6] By January 2014 the air ambulance had flown its 200th mission.[7] In May 2014, after a year of operations they had completed nearly 300 missions.[8] By February 2015 the ambulance had been despatched on almost 500 missions.[9]

In March 2015, it was announced that the charity would receive £3.3{{nbsp}}m (allocated from Libor fines) which would allow the charity to replace their helicopter with a larger, more capable aircraft.[10]

In October 2015, they upgraded to a Eurocopter EC-135, which is faster and more powerful than the Bolkow.[11] The new EC135, registered G-SCAA, previously operated for the NHS funded air ambulance in Scotland as G-SASB.

The charity reached 1,000 call-outs in March 2016.[12]

Scotland's Charity Air Ambulance runs with the radio call sign Helimed 76.[7]

In April 2018, the charity announced that a drive was underway to raise £6m in funds towards the running of a second helicopter for a three-year period.[13] In November they announced that this second aircraft would be based in Aberdeen and that they hoped that the service would be running by late 2019.[14]

Awards

Crew members were chosen as "Rural Heroes 2017" by the judges at the Scottish Rural Awards.[4]
