Governance

HOW WE ARE RUN

We are proud to be a registered charity and a Care Quality Commission registered healthcare provider, delivering the best possible care for critically ill and injured patients across the Thames Valley.

Our governance structure ensures our charity is well run, compliant with the relevant regulations, and operating effectively. This ensures our team give you the best chance when the worst happens.

HOW WE ARE REGULATED

As a charity and an independent healthcare provider we are regulated by a number of organisations to ensure that we are operating to the high standard that our patients and supporters expect.

Care Quality Commission

On 1 October 2018, we became independently registered with the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the independent regulator of health and social care in England.

The CQC carry out inspections on all healthcare services to ensure clinical care is a high standard. Inspections measure those services are safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led. In March 2020, we achieved an ‘Outstanding’ from the CQC, becoming the first air ambulance in England to receive the highest available rating from the official regulator.

Civil Aviation Authority

Our aircraft and pilots are regulated by the Civil Aviation Authority. The CAA ensures that both our aircraft and pilots meet the highest safety standards. The aircraft is subject to safety inspections, and our pilots and technical crew members must maintain high-standards of training in order for us to operate.

Charity Commission

As a charity, we are subject to the regulations of the Charity Commission, which ensures that the public can support charities with confidence. The Charity Commission hold charities to account, deal with wrongdoing and harm, help to inform public trust, provide charities with tools to guide them in their work and understanding and keep charities relevant for today’s world.

Fundraising Regulator

We are registered with the Fundraising Regulator and are committed to abiding by the Fundraising Regulator’s Code of Practice. With this registration we have committed to the fundraising promise:

  • We will commit to high standards
  • We will be clear, honest and open
  • We will be respectful
  • We will be fair and reasonable
  • We will be accountable and responsible

Further information on the fundraising promise can be found here.

Gambling Commission

As a lottery provider we are licensed by the Gambling Commission (Licence No. 5167) and therefore we abide by its regulations. Further information can be found here.
