This week’s #ViewFromTheCrew was shared by Critical Care Doctor Greg. 📷 We always land as close as possible, but sometimes our crew still needs to reach the scene, and often return to the helicopter on foot. Greg describes this as “going on a bit of an adventure”.

We hope whatever you're up to this bank holiday weekend, you stay safe and enjoy it. 💚💙 Our Critical Care Team will be working as normal, responding to the most serious 999 calls across our region. 🚁🚨

In April, our crew responded to 184 critically ill or injured people across our region by helicopter or car. 🚁 This is only possible thanks to your continued support. Thank you. 💚💙

@morefluids We’re incredibly proud to have you as part of the team, Sethina. 💚💙 Representation matters — and so does the impact you’ll have on patients, colleagues and those considering a future in PHEM. 🩺

A while ago, I led a national survey on access to PHEM careers. One quote really stayed with me “I’ve never seen a Black female doctor in UK PHEM” I’ve recently started working @GWAAC in a breaking barriers post CCT training role #representationmatters instagram.com/p/DUur0pPiAOj/…

It was wonderful to host @airambulancesuk and MPs from across the UK to talk about the work of our sector and share how important it is to everyone.

@RRT_UK Thank you so much for joining us and keeping our volunteers fed. It was a great day!💚💙

On 8 April, volunteers who raise vital funds for Great Western Air Ambulance Charity came together for a dedicated conference day - sharing knowledge, experience and a shared commitment to keeping this life‑saving service flying for those who need it most. RRT Bristol were delighted to support the day by providing morning refreshments and a burger lunch at midday, helping keep everyone fuelled and focused. #rrtcares #RapidReliefTeam @GWAAC
