This is the highest clinical position we offer with other leadership roles available after long, exemplary service
HEMS
Here at the London Air Ambulance Service within BRCCHQ, we provide the highest level of pre-hospital clinical care. We currently operate one Medium Lift Helicopter capable of transporting critically ill patients to a suitable medical facility in times not possible with a ground ambulance. Alongside our helicopter, we operate a rapid response car that can attend a wide range of calls to provide clinical consultation to ambulance staff as well as the first response to calls when conditions are not suitable for flying. Our vehicles will always be staffed with a qualified doctor and if available a HEMS paramedic. The London Air Ambulance Service is a highly specialized and exclusive unit with the highest standards in clinical training and selection criteria.
HART
Our Hazardous Area Response Team (HART) can work in difficult environments allowing them to provide emergency patient care faster at the scene of a major incident. In the past, treating such patients didn’t happen until after the fire and rescue service had arranged for them to be brought out of the inner cordon (the hot zone). Specialist training and personal protective equipment (PPE) has given paramedics skills and equipment to work alongside the fire and police services and reach patients who are in hazardous environments, confined spaces or trapped at height, to give lifesaving treatment and care at the earliest opportunity. What can HART do? Work in contaminated areas Work in and around water Urban search and rescue (USR) Safely work at height Work in confined spaces Operate specialist kit and vehicles.
