  London Air Ambulance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The London Air Ambulance, also known as the Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS), is an air ambulance which responds to seriously ill or injured casualties in, and around, London, England.
Formed in 1989 and currently based at the Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel, the service is unique in the UK in that the helicopter carries a doctor trained in emergency medicine in addition to a paramedic.
Its area of responsibility is London and the surroundings that lie within the M25 motorway, though it can fly further afield if requested to.

 7 July 2005 London bombings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 7 July 2005 London bombings were a series of coordinated bomb blasts that struck London's public transport system during the morning rush hour.
This was due to initial confusion at London Underground, where the explosions were initially thought to be due to a power surge.
For most of the day, central London's public transport system was effectively crippled because of the complete closure of the underground system, the closure of the Zone 1 bus networks, and the evacuation of Russell Square.

London’s Air Ambulance – also known as the Helicopter Emergency Medical Service (HEMS) – is suggesting subscriptions to its lottery as an alternative Christmas present this year.
On the 7th of July, by the fortune of their monthly study day taking place on the helipad of The Royal London Hospital in Whitechapel, where the service is based, HEMS was able to immediately despatch just about every doctor and paramedic connected with the service to the scenes of the incidents.
The HEMS teams worked alongside London Ambulance Service paramedics and the other emergency services, assessing and treating patients and ensuring their safe and speedy transfer to the most appropriate hospitals for their injuries.

 New national fundraising body for UK air ambulances   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
Nearly 50% of all air ambulance call outs are to road traffic accidents and air ambulance helicopters fulfil a vital role in providing rapid access to urgent trauma cases which cannot easily be reached by road.
There are currently 15 independent regional air ambulance charities providing coverage across the UK, but some of the regions are very short of funds and are facing an uncertain future.
A recent survey revealed that only 40% of people recognise that air ambulances are reliant on donations from the public to continue flying what are, in many cases, life saving missions.

 Air Ambulance Grounded (from This Is Local London)
LONDON'S life-saving air ambulance was left damaged in a freak incident after being called to a road accident.
In the meantime, air ambulance crews were forced to go to calls using the service's two rapid response vehicles, which are routinely used when the helicopter cannot fly at night or in bad weather.
A spokesman for London Air Ambulance said in this case, because of the location, a medical decision had already been taken that the injured woman would not be airlifted to hospital, so the accident had not compromised her condition.

Since launching in 1989, LAA has flown over 14,500 missions and is the only air ambulance in the UK that always carries a senior doctor and a paramedic trained specifically to treat patients who have suffered major injury as the result of an accident.
Although LAA receives some funding from the NHS and support from other private sponsors, such as Virgin, an additional £500,000 is needed each year to keep the helicopter flying during daylight hours and to enable the service to carry out its work out of hours in rapid response cars.

 Nee Naw - Blog of a Dispatcher in the London Ambulance Service's Control Room   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
As Nee Naw Control is a large building with the word “AMBULANCE” on it a lot and a lot of ambulances parked outside (mainly by virtue of the fact Waterloo Ambulance Station is situated around the back), occasionally we get the odd person attempting to wander in for some emergency treatment.
The ambulances (two of them, and a FRU for good measure) were on scene within five minutes (which is, incidentally, two minutes longer than a non-breathing person can survive without CPR), and then we heard nothing, until I got the blue call on the radio.
Apparently a woman dialled 999 in desperation because her Polish mother was dialling the Polish equivalent of 999 and was being refused an ambulance.
