This week’s #ViewFromTheCrew was shared by Critical Care Doctor Greg. 📷

We always land as close as possible, but sometimes our crew still needs to reach the scene, and often return to the helicopter on foot. Greg describes this as “going on a bit of an adventure”.

We hope whatever you're up to this bank holiday weekend, you stay safe and enjoy it. 💚💙
