Air Medics - Kids in Danger

Logo for Air Medics - Kids in Danger

Get ready to be propelled into the skies for the ride of your life. This is the third programme in a brand new, high octane, helicopter emergency ambulance series set in the stunning landscape of the North of England. The Great North Air Ambulance's three helicopters carry specialist trauma doctors and paramedics to some of the most remote parts of Britain's landscape, reaching seriously injured patients in minutes. Air Medics follows every gritty moment with camera directors on scene and multiple mini-cams on board, combined with air-to-air filming recorded in High Definition. As a result, this series is a mixture of mind-blowing cinematic landscapes with heart-warming stories of survival; and extraordinary feats performed by ordinary, local heroes. Three children are injured, putting extra pressure on the doctors and paramedics. Not only are they all parents themselves, but also childrens' bodies are much more delicate than adults', so the potential for complications is high. Four-year-old Alex has been run over by the family car, leaving him with possibly serious internal injuries; six-year-old Luca has come head-first off his bike, smashing his face on the ground; and 16-year-old Katie has also fallen, but off a horse, and at speed. For the crews of the Air Ambulance, it is a tricky balancing act, dealing with injured and frightened children as well as with their understandably distressed parents.
