Who We Are Our History and Milestones 2020 2020 marked 20 years since Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance was first launched. Our 20th anniversary year saw us provide an air and road-delivered critical care service 19 hours a day, 365 days a year. A national lockdown commenced due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We continued to provide pre-hospital critical care to the region. Our critical care team were operational every single day and night throughout the pandemic. All face-to-face fundraising and events were suspended and we relied on digital/virtual ways to raise funds. Manage Cookie Preferences
