Bern's story - A Tribute
''Great Western Air Ambulance Charity played and carried out an important role on the day, made a huge effort with the Coast Guards, Ambulance, First Aiders, the off-duty Nurse and the Responder. All of the crew members attempted to revive my partner Bern by giving him CPR, using the Defib, administering oxygen and long chest compressions."
Bern's partner Tina thanks emergency responders, including members of our Critical Care Team after they responded to her partner Bern, who sadly passed away after suffering an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.
