The Genesis of the Cornwall Air Ambulance Service: From a Dream to Reality

By Geoff Newman

The story behind the origins of this vital service is a fascinating tale. For many years the NHS cast aside the idea of a German-style Helicopter Emergency Medical Service citing the cost of such a revolutionary idea. It took the imagination of the author and the skills of a daring NHS manager to literally get the idea off the ground. Then, with a dedicated band of paramedics, doctors and nurses plus a huge contribution from the family run Bond Helicopters, they set about turning an idea into a fully functioning and highly effective operation they christened FIRST AIR AMBULANCE. The idea was so successful that in the years that followed more and more units were established. One pound from each book sold will be donated to the CAAST charity.
