FEC Heliports HEMS-Star® Helipad lighting at Queen’s Hospital, Romford, United Kingdom
The HELP APPEAL & FEC Heliports are proud to announce the successful installation of HEMS-Star® lighting on the Queen’s Hospital helipad in Romford. This new development marks a significant milestone in emergency medical care in the region, ensuring that air ambulances can now safely land 24/ 7 on the hospital helipad for the first time.
Previously, the lack of lighting on the helipad restricted the ability of air ambulances to land at night or in low-visibility conditions. With the installation of state-of-the-art HEMS-Star® lighting, this challenge has been overcome, improving the hospital’s capacity to receive urgent medical cases around the clock.
Robert Bertram, Chief Executive of the HELP Appeal said: “By funding this lighting system (FEC Heliports HEMS-Star®), we are making a crucial difference in the lives of patients in the region who require urgent care. Air ambulances are often the fastest and most effective way to bring critically ill or injured patients to the hospital, and now, with the ability to land during the hours of darkness, we are enhancing the service and care patients receive. We are incredibly proud to have supported this vital project."
