EVIDENCE TRAIL
Verification and unknowns
- An Air Ambulance for the most serious cases.
- The official UK training matrix requires the five-day Critical care course to operate HEMS.
- The official Helicopter Station page identifies HEMS/Air Ambulance as the station vehicle.
- Current community inventory records the purchase cost and crew contract; official UK guidance corroborates the HEMS identity and Critical care training.
Inventory checked 2026-07-30. Community-current fields are discovery evidence, not silently promoted to official facts.
