WHO WE ARE Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance Our mission, vision and values A word from the Trustees 2016 promises to be a busy and exciting time for Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance as a number of projects come to fruition in a relatively short space of time. In April, we move to having a doctor on board our helicopter, seven days a week. This is both financially and clinically challenging, however, evidence from those already using this model shows that it is absolutely the right decision to make. This improvement has been underpinned by our paramedic team continuing their studies to ensure they are fully qualified to deliver the highest level of critical care. To undertake these studies is no mean achievement and it is wonderful that their hard work was rightly recognised at the 2015 HSJ Awards. The Trustees are thrilled that they have been acknowledged in this way and congratulate them all. Our new helicopter will arrive later this year. It has been fantastic to be able to research and select the best aircraft that we believe will serve our requirements, knowing that we have sufficient funds to do so. This is thanks to the wonderful support that the Charity receives and I personally thank everyone for their continued support. Simon Michell stood down from the Board of Trustees after a nine-year period at our December meeting. He had been Chairman of the Board for the last three years and his commitment and leadership throughout this period has been outstanding. Simon has been instrumental in the Charity’s development over the years and we thank him for his service. I am delighted to have been asked to take on the role of Chair and look forward to working with the executive and clinical team during this very exciting year ahead. ROGER MORGAN, Chairman of Trustees Roger Morgan (above) is DSAA’s new Chairman of Trustees OUR VISION To provide the maximum patient benefit by delivering the most effective, clinically excellent and financially secure air ambulance service in the South West Region.
