The Part B for HEMS was written to be as close as possible to Part HEMS, but that may have changed.
Each hospital pad in use allows for a PC1 approach, usually the steep, confined area approach from the 139 RFM. As per civilian HEMS, landing sites at scene are not required to guarantee that, most of the ones I saw did.
If MTOW is above 5700kg then PartHEMS requires PC1 at scene also.
