Our work

Scotland’s Charity Air Ambulance responds to time-critical accidents and medical emergencies throughout Scotland 365 days a year. Our bold ambition as a charity is to ensure that no one in Scotland dies because help cannot get there in time.

Since 2013, SCAA has responded to time-critical emergency calls in every corner of Scotland.

Our helicopter air ambulances and Rapid Response Vehicles deliver expert paramedics to the scene of accidents and injuries to provide life-saving care and rapid transfers to hospital.

Your support allows us to be there when people need help the most.
