east anglian air ambulance
East Anglian Air Ambulance has achieved some fantastic milestones over the past
twenty years, none of which would have been possible without our supporters.
Thank youFollowing an urgent fundraising appeal in May, EAAA is now able to
permanently carry packed red blood cells and freeze-dried plasma on every
mission. Blood transfusions ensure that the most gravely injured patients
suffering a major bleed have the best chance of getting to hospital through
increasing oxygen delivery and clot production. EAAA’s Blood on Board project
has involved raising in excess of £90,000 and essential partnership working
between two of the region’s hospitals, Addenbrooke’s and the Norfolk and Norwich
University Hospital (NNUH), and two volunteer-driven blood biker charities, SERV
Suffolk and Cambridgeshire and Norfolk Blood Bikes, to ensure a high-quality,
daily supply of red blood cells to each of the EAAA operational bases.
