A vital independent charity providing advanced time-critical pre-hospital care to critically ill and injured patients across Devon.
Life-Saving Service
DAA operates two emergency helicopters and two critical care cars.

24/7 (Extended) Coverage: Their helicopters fly for ten hours a day, seven days a week, and from late autumn 2016, their Exeter-based helicopter extended operations into the hours of darkness, up to midnight, using a network of community night-landing sites.
