What services does EAAA provide?
Founded in 2000, and saving lives 24/7, East Anglian Air Ambulance provides support to the ambulance service by assisting with road traffic collisions, cardiac arrests, and medical emergencies, plus much more. Their expert doctors, critical care paramedics, and pilots bring advanced skills, equipment, and medicines straight to patients, which is the kind of care you’d usually only find in a specialist emergency department. Their care provides the patient with the best possible chance of survival, due to their rapid response rate and enhanced equipment.
