In emergency situations we need to transport children into our care as quickly as possible as minutes can make a huge difference in a major trauma situation. Here at Sheffield Children’s Hospital around 20% of children arrive by air ambulance but crucially we don’t have a dedicated onsite helipad, currently patients are stretchered across the busy A57. £100,000 means we are a step closer to building a helipad atop our Emergency Department. This lifesaving project can be used 24/7 and will ensure that critically ill children can be transferred to our trauma team as quickly and safely as possible.
