GNAAS hopes to become a '24/7 service'

Fri, 18 Aug 2023


The Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS) has recruited a new doctor to its critical care team in the hopes of expanding and becoming a 24/7 service.

Last year, the charity began a long-term trial to transfer seriously injured or unwell patients by helicopter from the Isle of Man directly to the UK for emergency medical treatment.

The new recruit, Dr Paddy Duncan, has joined the charity at a “crucial time” and will join the other team of 35 doctors that work for the organisation across the North East of England and Cumbria.

Dr Duncan, who currently works at the Royal Victoria Infirmary  in Newcastle as an anaesthetics registrar, said: “I am thrilled to be working with GNAAS and I am really looking forward to continuing my training with some of the best doctors and paramedic I have ever worked with.

“These guys strive for excellence and everyone from the operational team to the fundraising staff are all driving the charity forward and supporting one cause.”
