The Vehicles

An extension of the service that we provide to the sick and injured of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, our Emergency Response Vehicle is crewed by a team of HIOWAA doctors and paramedics and has parallel capability to the Air Ambulance.

We have three vehicles. One is a specially converted Volvo XC90 and the other two are specially converted Skoda Superbs.

We operate a car seven days a week, providing the same enhanced care as that delivered by the Helicopter, but now able to get to the more difficult to reach urban areas.

Additionally, the Vehicles provide a vital training platform for Pre-Hospital Emergency Doctors and Paramedics in order to grow sustainable numbers of these highly specialised professionals.

HEMS Specialist Paramedic Nicola is driving the Critical Care Team vehicle down the motorway.
