THE lifesaving work of the Midlands Air Ambulance Charity’s crew will feature on TV screens once again as hit show Ambulance: Code Red returns to 5Star tonight (Thursday January 14).

Ambulance: Code Red will continue to follow the rapid response, pre-hospital emergency crew of the Lye based Midlands Air Ambulance Charity as it responds to critically ill and injured patients across the Midlands region.

Each episode will focus on the charity’s critical care provision in partnership with West Midlands Ambulance Service as crews of both organisations work together to save lives.

The charity’s H145 helicopter will also return alongside one of the charity’s two critical care cars which covers the Birmingham and wider Black Country area.

Crews on-board West Midlands Ambulance Service’s MERIT car will also feature.

Ian Roberts, air operations manager for Midlands Air Ambulance Charity, said: “We are extremely proud of the success that the first part of the series received back in summer, last year.

“We are delighted the critical care team feature again in the second part of the Ambulance: Code Red series and hope that we receive just as much positive feedback as we did the first time.

“As a charity which relies on public donations, it’s vitally important that we raise awareness of our advanced emergency service and featuring in this series will give the public and insight into the lifesaving work we do.

“The programme will highlight the vital intervention our aircrew can deliver on the scene to support land ambulance crews, and the positive impact this care can have on patients’ outcomes.”

The series will air at 9pm on the 5Star channel (FreeSat 131/141, Freeview, 30/55, Sky 128, TalkTalk 30, Virgin Media 151/186).
