Air ambulance carries blood
9:30am Wednesday 19th December 2012 in Countywide
The Thames Valley and Chiltern Air Ambulance now carries blood on board.
From yesterday, the aircraft will carry two units of blood permanently, and the on-board doctors will be able to potentially use it to save lives at roadside. It can be stored for 72 hours.
