SCAA was privileged to gather with some of our supporters and key contributors at a reception at The Scottish Parliament last night, hosted by @JohnSwinney MSP. Being able to hear from those that support and value the work we do, like patient Debbie Duffus, was truly inspiring.

Yesterday was our busiest day yet, with 12 taskings from our Perth & Aberdeen bases. These call outs saw our crews responding to a wide range of incidents and our ability to reach patients when they need help is only possible thanks to the ongoing generosity of our supporters. 🚁
