I am about to start a 5 year secondment with the Scottish Ambulance Service Helimed 5 based at the Heliport in Glasgow! It is funded by the Scottish Executive but it is used to support the Islands and other inaccessible areas in Scotland where there is a need for medical care but not enough demand for a permanent land based ambulance. Justification for this is the huge geographic area and distances between communities. The service provided is amazing along with the speed with which the casuality gets to a specialist hospital makes any fundraising worthwhile. Good luck!
