PBLC's Charity 2026 27
Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance
Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance (DSAA), provide life-saving critical care and rapid transfers for the most seriously ill and injured people across our region. Expert teams of consultant level doctors and specialist practitioners go above and beyond to deliver hospital-level treatment, directly at the scene of an incident.
Delivering Pre-Hospital Care
Crews are trained to handle complex medical emergencies, offering advanced interventions such as blood transfusions, surgical procedures, sedation and anaesthesia. These interventions, combined with expert pain management, help stabilise patients in critical conditions, giving them the best chance of survival before they reach hospital.
Specialist Teams, Specialist Care
They are tasked by a dedicated Helicopter Emergency Medica Service desk in the ambulance service control centre to the most serious patients in the region. Their ability to deliver critical and enhanced care at the scene sets them apart, providing vital treatment when every second counts. This includes utilising the latest techniques and technology to ensure patients receive the highest standard of care.

PBLC raises money for their charity throughout the year by selling specially designed charity bone and wood bobbins by Stuart Johnson (see below). At each of the bi-monthly meetings and Lace Day there is a raffle and all the proceeds go to the charity.
