Midlands Air Ambulance Charity
Midlands Air Ambulance Charity delivers lifesaving pre-hospital emergency care across Herefordshire. Our helicopters and critical care cars enable us to reach patients quickly in both rural communities and market towns such as Hereford, Leominster and Ross-on-Wye.
• We respond to hundreds of serious incidents across Herefordshire every year.
• Our teams attend medical emergencies, trauma cases, and road traffic collisions across the county.
• The rural nature of Herefordshire means helicopter access is essential to reach patients quickly.
Our helicopters can land almost anywhere – from fields and farms to roadside verges – to bring hospital-level care to the scene.
Our team regularly responds to a wide range of emergency incidents across Herefordshire, delivering time-critical treatment when every second counts.
Cyclist Seriously Injured in Hereford: A woman sustained serious injuries in a collision involving a vehicle on Bath Street, Hereford. Our critical care car, alongside ambulance staff, provided advanced trauma care at the scene. She was initially taken to Hereford County Hospital before being transferred to Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham for further specialist treatment.
Six Injured in Hereford Road Traffic Collision: Six people were taken to hospital following a collision on the B4221 near Upton Bishop. Our team provided on-scene support alongside West Midlands Ambulance Service, ensuring patients received the urgent care they needed.
Family Survive RTC: A family of five was involved in a severe road traffic collision in Leominster. Multiple air ambulances, including two from MAAC, were dispatched. Our crews provided critical care at the scene and airlifted the seriously injured children to Birmingham Children’s Hospital. Thanks to the swift response and advanced treatment, all family members survived the incident.
We work in close partnership with West Midlands Ambulance Service, Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service, and other local agencies to provide a joined-up emergency response.
In rural terrain, we may also work with Mountain Rescue teams when access is particularly difficult.
This collaboration helps ensure patients across Herefordshire receive fast, effective, and expert medical care when they need it most.
Our helicopters are equipped to land in a wide variety of locations, allowing our team to deliver care quickly and effectively, wherever the incident occurs.
We regularly respond to emergencies in remote parts of the Golden Valley, the Wye Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and farmland across the county. In towns like Hereford, Ledbury and Leominster, our critical care cars provide rapid support when a land-based approach is more appropriate.
