The team is called to a building site to treat a roofer who has picked up a nasty leg fracture in a fall. Alternative transport is required to reach a 16-year-old asthmatic struggling to breathe on a Lake District mountainside, and a cyclist involved in a collision in Durham needs medical assistance.

This character-driven documentary series will tell the story of the UKs extraordinary doctor-led helicopter emergency team and offer a unique look at the cutting edge medicine they use to save lives every day. With rare access, the series will follow chopper doctor flying teams in the North and South of Britain. These Air Ambulance ER units carry doctors, not simply paramedics, so audiences will witness life-saving surgery and pioneering medicine on the front line as the hospital effectively comes to the roadside or the mountain. Cameras will be there every step of the way from the moment the emergency call comes in and the team is scrambled to landing at the scene and treating the patient. In some cases the programme will also follow the patients journey in hospital and their recovery. But the heart of each film is constructed around the platinum half hour the critical 30 minutes following a major accident. As well as offering a privileged window into this extraordinary service, Air Ambulance ER provides an intimate portrait of the remarkable and inspirational characters behind it.
