Get ready to be propelled into the skies for the ride of your life. This is a brand new, high-octane, helicopter emergency ambulance series set in the stunning landscape of the North of England.
The Great North Air Ambulance's three helicopters carry specialist trauma doctors and paramedics to some of the most remote parts of Britain's landscape, reaching seriously injured patients in minutes. Air Medics follows every gritty moment with camera directors on scene and multiple mini-cams on board, combined with air-to-air filming recorded in high definition. As a result, this series is a mixture of mind-blowing cinematic landscapes, heart-warming stories of survival and extraordinary feats performed by ordinary, local heroes.
The crews of the Great North Air Ambulance are pushed to the limit dealing with the most common accident of all in the region - crashes. Crashing at high speed can cause some of the most serious injuries the doctors and paramedics have to deal with.
Motorcyclist Colin Banks has been so seriously hurt following a crash with a bus that Air Ambulance doctor Matt Cheeseman has to perform surgery on scene, while John Hodgeson has come off his off-road motorbike at over 100 miles an hour and is so critically ill that Dr Jeremy Henning has to anaesthetise him on scene in order to save his life.
Meanwhile, five young lads climb out of a completed wrecked car following an accident on the A66, dazed and confused at how they could have survived - although one of them is left with a neck pain which is seriously concerning aircrew paramedic Andy Dalton. Show less
