The East of England helicopter team saving lives around the clock

A helicopter paramedic has spoken about the pressures of the job, but how fulfilling it is to save lives.

The BBC followed Dr Halden Hutchinson-Bazely and his colleagues at the East Anglian Air Ambulance during a night shift.

He said: "It brings it home to you when you realise you've been a key part in keeping a family together, keeping parents with their children."

The charity covers Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire 24 hours a day from its base at Norwich Airport.

You can watch the full story on We Are England at 19:30 BST on Friday, 28 October, on BBC One and afterwards on iPlayer.
