Yorkshire Air Ambulance is returning to TV screens, as part of a new series giving viewers an inside look at the service's life-saving work.

The new series, called Yorkshire Air 999, will premiere at 9pm on Quest on November 1.

The show follows the success of another series starring Yorkshire Air Ambulance, Helicopter ER, which ran for nine seasons.

The new series promises to give viewers an "intimate glimpse" at the work of Yorkshire Air Ambulance's medical team, as well as the patients they treat.

A range of challenges will be captured on screen, including cardiac arrests, road traffic collisions, equestrian accidents, sporting injuries, and falls from height.

The show will also offer insight into the medical treatments performed by the critical care team - which run the gamut from rapid sequence intubation and thoracostomies to blood transfusions, advanced airway management, and analgesic administration.

Helicopter emergency medical service paramedic, Sam Berridge, said: "Over the past year, we’ve filmed a lot of our missions and gathered some great footage that really shows what our work is all about.

"It’s so rewarding to see our team back on the big screen after the last season of Helicopter ER wrapped up in late 2023.

"One of the best parts for us is getting to see how our patients are doing at the end of each episode - it really gives us that sense of job satisfaction.

"I hope everyone at home enjoys it!"

The series will run for six weeks, starting on November 1 before taking a short break over the Christmas period and then returning in the first week of January, and continuing through to early February.

Matt Richards, managing director at Air TV, which produces the show, said: "We are thrilled to be back filming and supporting the fantastic work of Yorkshire Air Ambulance and bringing a new, refreshed series in Yorkshire Air 999.

"When you have such a remarkable charity willing to let you delve into their missions, along with the stunning Yorkshire landscapes and amazing characters you encounter, it creates a truly fantastic program.

"Expect drama, heart-warming rescues, beautiful Yorkshire landscapes and some amazing characters in this new series."

All the cameramen and women involved in the filming of the series have been trained to the level of 'technical crew member,' or TCM.

The training enables them to assist the medical and aviation teams if necessary.
