BikeSafe Supports the County Air Ambulance Trust "Take Care" Campaign

"Air Ambulances are now a common sight attending incidents when people are in the most urgent need of care.  It is a sad truth that some of these incidents could have been avoided.

Whatever the circumstances, the chances of survival for a major trauma patient depends on being attended to as quickly as possible by a specialist paramedic team. When Air Ambulance crews hurry to the scene they are required to work within strict safety rules, as well as aviation and helicopter safety criteria, there are also emergency medical protocols and all involve critical decisions and fine judgement.

Nowadays there are positive steps we can all take to 'Take Care'. More people are taking care in their day to day lives and now actively invest in themselves by developing life skills such as advanced driving or riding , first aid courses or even joining clubs & societies linked to their pastimes.

Whatever the circumstances, should an Air Ambulance be required, the chances of survival for a major trauma patient still depends entirely on the goodwill and generosity of ordinary people and businesses. Air Ambulance, with the exception of Scotland, receive no money whatsoever from the Government or National Lottery so please support us. Any contribution will make a difference. We hope you agree to 'Take Care' and help keep our guys out of the skies."

'BikeSafe' supports the work of Air Ambulances wherever they operate.
