The Thames Valley Air Ambulance (TVAA), previously the Thames Valley and Chiltern Air Ambulance, is an organisation providing emergency medical services through the provision of a helicopter-based air ambulance covering the counties of Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire in the South East England region.

Operations

The charity's helicopter, which is night-capable, is a Eurocopter EC135^[3] operating between 7 am and 2 am.^[3]^[4] It is based at RAF Benson – roughly halfway between Oxford and Reading – with two pilots and a medical team. It also operates five emergency response vehicles (ERV), which, like the helicopter, carries a doctor and paramedic.^[3]

In the year ending September 2020, TVAA's income was £13.9 million, against expenditure of £14.9M, of which £9.7M was spent on operating the charitable emergency service.^[2] In 2019, TVAA responded to 2,670 incidents.^[5]

Media

In 2018, the charity appeared on Channel 4's TV programme Emergency Helicopter Medics, which follows the crews responding and treating emergency patients.^[6] Other air ambulances that featured in the show include Great North Air Ambulance and East Anglian Air Ambulance.
