2021

The COVID-19 pandemic continued and provided its challenges. Despite this, we maintained complete reliability of our service and our team continued to work hard on each of our strategic clinical challenges.
We provided a critical care service for 19 hours per day, every single day throughout the pandemic.
Our clinical team produced a video about how they worked during the COVID-19 pandemic. You can watch it here - dsairambulance.org.uk/operations-throughout-covid-19-video
Our team provided a COVID-19 critical care transfer service, to safely move patients from NHS hospitals with too many patients, to NHS hospitals with more bed capacity.
After nearly a two-year break, our fantastic Coast to Coast Cycle Challenge returned in September and kicked off Air Ambulance Week.
We were shortlisted as a finalist in five categories in the Air Ambulances UK Awards of Excellence. DSAA came out as winners in three categories; Doctor of the Year, Innovation of the Year, Lifetime Achievement Award and we were highly commended in the other two categories.
