MIDLANDS Air Ambulance Charity has launched its First Farmer on Scene course, designed to equip members of the farming community with vital lifesaving skills to respond effectively in rural medical emergencies.

The launch event took place at High Grosvenor House in Bridgnorth, Shropshire, on Friday, October 31, where guests included Stuart Anderson, MP for South Shropshire, Shropshire's High Sheriff, and the Mayor of Bridgnorth, alongside other community representatives.

Since the start of 2025, the charity has responded to 97 missions in rural locations across the Midlands, with many incidents being industrial-related injuries, often involving machinery.

Even with these incidents happening in rural locations, the charity's air crews are on scene within ten minutes on average.
