GWAAC is here for the people of Wiltshire
TENFamed for its prehistoric monuments - most notably of course Stonehenge - Wiltshire is also home to parts of the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Our Critical Care Team were called 138 times to Wiltshire in 2025. Our busiest year in Wiltshire for ten years. That’s over two people each week who were given the best chance of a positive outcome, thanks to GWAAC.
It is also more likely that we are called to the area by helicopter, meaning the average mission cost in Wiltshire is higher than in other areas we serve.

Claire's story
“The visit to GWAAC kick-started the healing process. Talking to GWAAC and Dr Tim has helped us to come to terms with everything. And for Martin, who has struggled to talk about it more than me, now finds it easier to do. We’d like to get across this message to others in similar circumstances and particularly men — talk about it. It really does help! And talking together has helped us understand what the other experienced and helped fill some of the many gaps in my memory.”
