With the sun shining and more people out and about enjoying the weather, you might spot us responding by air or road. But what should you do if you see us trying to land or take-off in the helicopter? Watch our video for top tips from our pilots. 🚁

So proud of our GW Hearts team who won the Breaking Barriers Award at the #AAUKAwards! 🏆

@GWHearts work has been recognised for its efforts in making defibs available to all, reducing health inequalities in our region.

This year we introduced a mapping tool to make defib placement more strategic.
