Huncote Helps Helipads for Hospitals
Posted: Thu, 18 Jun 2020 10:14
Local groups in Huncote and Croft have been collecting cans.The cans will be turned into a helipad so Air Ambulances can deliver patients direct to the emergency department at Leicester Royal Infirmary, rather than having to waste precious time transferring critically-ill patients to wheeled ambulances for the last threequarters of a mile of the journey.
Since January 2020 over 6,000 cans have been collected.
