☀️ It's been a sunny day here at base and the HEMS team is making the most of the weather, with some outdoor training on manikins like this one, alongside the newest team member Andy McIlhatton. When appropriate the team use a portable mechanical 𝗖𝗣𝗥 𝗱𝗲𝘃𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗱 𝗮 𝗟𝗨𝗖𝗔𝗦. This device provides consistent chest compressions at the perfect rate and depth.

Air Ambulance Northern Ireland
Non-profit Organizations
Providing Helicopter Emergency Medical Service to those in need of it most
About us
Air Ambulance NI, in partnership with the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service (NIAS), provides the Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) for the region. The charity’s operational helicopter carries a crew compiling pilot, doctor, and paramedic, 365 days of the year operating for twelve hours every day. They attend some of the most traumatic medical incidents across the province and are dedicated to delivering the very best possible pre- hospital care, both at the scene and whilst transferring the patient to the most appropriate hospital for their specific injuries. Our EC135 helicopter can get anywhere in the province in approximately twenty-five to thirty minutes and the rapid response is vital in an emergency situation. If a patient reaches hospital within the Golden Hour (60 minutes after their injury) their chances of survival are dramatically increased. What is not widely known is that AANI is a charity. Each day costs in the region of £5,500 and £2m is needed each year to keep our air ambulance service operational. We rely entirely on support from the public and local businesses, including Gifts in Wills. AANI is fortunate to count on tremendous public support and good will, and we will never take this for granted. It’s not only the medical crew who save lives, but the people who support our service. Thank you to everyone for your support. Charity Registration 103900

The Northern Ireland Ambulance Service were tasked to Casey’s home alongside the air ambulance HEMS team who placed her into an induced coma before flying her to the Royal Victoria Hospital. Nine months later, Casey is slowly rebuilding her strength after her life-changing experience.

At Air Ambulance Northern Ireland, we’re thrilled to welcome 𝗔𝗻𝗱𝘆 𝗠𝗰𝗜𝗹𝗵𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗻 as the newest member of the HEMS team as he embarks on his initial training under the watch of Pilot Dan Rose. Andy began his career with the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service in 2015 as an ACA, working out of Broadway. In 2016, he transitioned to the AAP course and was stationed in Ardoyne, where he provided emergency pre-hospital care to people in North Belfast and beyond. After successfully applying to join the HEMS team, Andy is now back in training, honing the advanced skills necessary to become a HEMS Paramedic. His training will include observation flights and serving as an additional crew member. Once his training is complete, Andy will be cleared to fly alongside the Doctors and Pilots, delivering life-saving care to those in need across the region.
