High-Flying Help

12 July 2024

This term we have been raising money for West Midlands Air Ambulance Service following an inspiring assembly from Dr Dias. We learnt about the important work carried out by the service and the procedures followed for each mission.

On Tuesday, to wrap up our term of charity fundraising, we welcomed the Air Ambulance Helipod to EHS. This is a full-sized replica of the helicopters which fly the lifesaving medical missions across our region.

All pupils were given the opportunity to sit in the cockpit, appreciate the limited size of the treatment area and ask questions.

We are very lucky to have two parents who are Critical Care Doctors with the Air Ambulance. They gave up their time to show the girls around the helicopter and teach them some basic first aid and life support skills too. Thank you!
