It's National Blood Donor Week, so two of our pilots rolled up their sleeves at New Zealand Blood Service Epsom to give blood and plasma (also known as liquid gold!)

As a rescue helicopter service, we carry and administer blood onboard our aircraft to critically injured patients. It’s a vital part of the advanced aeromedical care we provide.

A huge thank you to everyone who donates. Your generosity helps make a real difference every day. ❀️🩸
