Air Ambulances UK

Who we are

Air Ambulances UK is the national organisation championing and supporting the lifesaving work of the UK’s 21 air ambulance charities.

Our vision is that together we will ensure the best possible chance of survival and patient outcome for everyone in need of lifesaving pre-hospital care.

We continually strive towards this by providing vital national funding to air ambulance charities, increasing awareness of their lifesaving work, advocating on key issues and policies affecting the delivery of their services, helping to enable advancements in patient care, providing a collective voice and enabling the exchange of information and knowledge across the air ambulance sector.

We are achieving this in collaboration with our members, generous individual, corporate and grant donors as well as our strategic partnerships.

Together, we are making a real difference by enabling  air ambulance charities to save even more lives and remain at the forefront of pre-hospital care, helping to reduce loss of life in people with life-threatening injuries or a medical emergency.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

It is Air Ambulances UK’s policy to provide equal opportunities in employment regardless of age, disability, race (including colour, nationality, and ethnic or national origins) marriage and civil partnership, religion or religious or philosophical belief, sex, sexual orientation, gender reassignment. 

We are committed to the promotion of equal opportunities and to ensure that talent and skills of all employees are maximised.  

Our policy is to treat all employees with respect and dignity and to ensure that employees are not victimised or subjected to harassment or discrimination.

We seek to fulfil this commitment to equal opportunities through the application of policies and procedures which are consistent and equitable. How we apply these policies should be fair and we recognise that some individuals might need an adjustment because of a protected characteristic, in these instances we will work with the individual to understand their needs and will make reasonable adjustments if it is required by law or it means a fairer experience.  

The Charity is committed to equal pay and equality of terms and conditions in employment. We believe male and female employees should receive equal pay for like work, work related as equivalent or work of equal value.
