The Main beneficiary of the 2012 Northampton Dragon Boat Festival is
The Warwickshire and Northamptonshire
Air Ambulance
The Warwickshire & Northamptonshire Air Ambulance (WNAA) was
established in October 2003 to provide an emergency medical service
for the heart of England including Warwickshire, Northamptonshire
and Milton Keynes. Prior to this, the region had relied on older,
slower aircraft with limited space for onboard patient treatment.
The new service shifted the emphasis from transporting casualties to
hospital, to recognising the need to get senior Doctors and
Consultants to the scene of incidents as quickly as possible,
providing lifesaving treatment and medication at the scene and
en-route to hospital.
The service has 12 Doctors, 12 Paramedics & 3 Pilots which service a population of around 1.1 million people. Based at Coventry Airport, in the three years it has been operating, it has flown over 5500 missions. With an ever-increasing callout rate of between 120 and 150 callouts per month, the WNAA is the busiest air ambulance in the UK.
