Our patients are at the centre of what we do. There is nothing more heart-warming for our team than when a former patient gets in touch and wants to visit us. If you, or a family member, has been a patient of ours and would like to get in touch, we would love to hear from you. Some patients share their story to help raise awareness of our work.

My name is Josh and as spring approaches, I remember how lucky I am to be alive and who I have to thank for making that possible. In 2010, when I fell 35ft to the ground during a simulated parachute landing, my world changed and I had no idea my life would soon be in the hands of Air Ambulance Kent Surrey Sussex.

Time stood still. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I often wonder what he’s getting up to during the day and imagine him having fun, running around with his friends on the playground as children should. But to hear that he had fallen and didn’t just get up and brush it off made no sense. How could this be happening?

At around 8:30pm on a dark October evening, 14-year-old Joe Pelham was cycling at the junction of the A31 and the Coxbridge Roundabout in Farnham when he was hit by a car. Paramedics from SECAMB were the first to treat Joe, who had been pulled to the safety of the verge by his friend but had sustained very serious injuries.

I’d been taking part in a society golf day at Upchurch River Valley when I started to experience strange involuntary muscle spasms in my chest and arms. I remember going out to the patio and it was there that I collapsed. I didn’t realise at the time but I was suffering a sudden cardiac arrest.

Before coming to a halt, I hit two other cars, and it is a miracle that no major damage was caused to either of the vehicles or, more importantly, their passengers.

Standing on the grass verge by the hard shoulder of the motorway, I watched as recovery workers tended to my broken down vehicle. I was tired and cold but at least I thought I was out of harm's way. Suddenly, out of nowhere, I heard a deafening crash. As I turned to see what had happened, I faced the horrifying sight of a car hurtling towards me at high speed.

My car had hit a tree and I was trapped underneath the dashboard, needing intervention from the fire service to set me free. I had sustained very serious injuries to my legs and pelvis, I had injuries to my hands and I was losing a lot of blood.
