11.01.2022 When we perform a rescue we know that every patient is important to others, as a parent, child, colleague or friend. Not only do our missions impact the patient..., but also their loved ones. This Fathers Day we would like to recognise the Fathers and Grandfathers that are connected with us as patients, carers and of course as pilots and crew. Chris and Rachel were rescued in separate incidents - a motorbike and motor vehicle accident nearly 10 years apart. They are pictured below with their two beautiful daughters, Alyvia and Maycie and Aircrew Officer Nathan Langham. #HappyFathersDay #StaySafe

If they say they are not OK, start a conversation and show them theyre supported and help them find strategies to better manage the load. If they are OK, that person will know youre someone who cares enough to ask. So today, ask someone in your crew if they are OK! A conversation could change a life.
