Speaking as a private pilot but professional medic:

I have no knowledge of the modus operandi of the Dutch service .

However if the purpose is purely to get a trauma surgeon to the patient quickly then using pre-surveyed landing sites/rendezvous points followed by surface transfer of the surgeon( by motorcycle or rapid response vehicle) would reduce the flying risks . I doubt if there would be any significant time difference or patient outcome.
