great north air ambulance service

The Great North Air Ambulance Service is a UK registered charity which covers the North East, North Yorkshire and Cumbria.   Everything we do is focused around delivering world-class care in that moment for our patients. But the impact is felt far beyond this group of people. Consider their families, their friends and colleagues, and then there's those we train, our healthcare partners and the communities involved in fundraising activity.

 

Tandem Parachute Jumps

 

Leaving the aircraft at 10,000ft you’ll reach speeds of 120mph (that’s as fast as a Golden Eagle diving for prey, by the way!) You’ll experience the rush and buzz of freefall strapped to a professional and experienced parachute instructor. Your instructor will release the canopy at about 5000ft and you can either help them steer the parachute home or leave them to do it for you and ‘relax’!

 

• We coordinate our emergency response from our airdesk at Progress House in Eaglescliffe. By keeping an eye on 999 calls as they come in, speaking to road crew paramedics on scene, and liaising with fellow emergency services, we can quickly build a picture of the ongoing incident – and if we are needed.
