More4 TV show to go behind the scenes with Thames Valley Air Ambulance

Thames Valley Air Ambulance will be part of a More4 series showing crews responding to real incidents.

In a new 10-part series of Emergency Helicopter Medics, viewers will get a glimpse into the daily work of Thames Valley Air Ambulance.

The show, which starts this Sunday, 22nd May, at 9pm on More4, will feature real-life call outs such as a serious motocross incident, where a rider falls 12 feet, a motorcyclist with an open femur fracture, and suspected crossbow shooting. 

Kevin Letchford, Clinical Shift Manager and Critical Care Paramedic at Thames Valley Air Ambulance, who features in the series, said: “Our doctors and paramedics are trained for every eventuality, so that we can give seriously ill and injured patients the best possible chance of survival and recovery. But every shift is different and we never know where the next call will take us.

“This programme gives viewers a unique chance to put themselves in our shoes. Come on board with us, as we care for real people, on possibly the worst day of their lives. While you watch the show, remember that we are completely funded by the generosity of our community – so it is thanks to our supporters that we are there when the worst happens.”
