Devon Air Ambulance delivers time-critical care thanks to your support. But now you can help to support our patients even before we arrive at an incident.

We attend hundreds of patients every year and in 2021, 333 of these were suffering a cardiac arrest - their heart had stopped beating.

In a recent survey, a staggering 67% of those who took part told us that they would like to find out more about using a defibrillator as although they would like to be able to step in and help to save a life, they lacked the confidence to do so because they weren't sure how to use a defibrillator.

In response to this important information we are offering you the chance to boost your confidence with training delivered by our very own Specialist Paramedics in Critical Care at our first set of community defibrillator sessions in 5 locations across Devon.

Doing something to help is better than doing nothing! Click the link below to find a location near you and join us in helping to save a life should the need arise!

We're always pleased to hear from the patients that we have helped as it's always good to hear how you are and if you need any extra support from us.

Did you know, as part of our service, our Patient Liaison Clinicians can help you and your family by answering any questions or providing clarification regarding the care you received from Devon Air Ambulance.

They can also help fill in any gaps in your memory during your time in our care and provide contact details of other specialist agencies and charities that may be able to offer support (psychological, practical and financial).

They will seek to answer any questions you may have as openly and honestly as possible and help you to understand the care that we provided. They may not be able to answer every question, but they will do their best to find out the answer for you.

Can you help?... To help us to improve our service, if you are a patient, we would love for you to share your experience on our very short patient feedback form here: https://bit.ly/DAAPatientFeedback
