In November, Norway Round visited the Air Ambulance Service and the brand new base in Stavanger.

The Norway Round visit can be viewed from Friday 28th November on NRK.

The base in Stavanger opened just a few days before the visit after moving into the new university hospital in Stavanger.

However, the base had managed to get everything in order for the splendid visit.

Filming in a helicopter requires a lot of planning. But Norway Round managed it amidst assignments and regular operations, thanks to excellent cooperation with base Stavanger and the Norwegian Air Ambulance Foundation.

 

Norway Round was warmly welcomed by the crew at the base, led by medical director Einar Johan Tveit.

The popular programme, which has been broadcast on Friday evenings for nearly fifty years, got to experience base life for two ordinary days of service and learned how the crew works and lives together 24 hours a day.

Medical director Einar Johan Tveit showcases the motto of the air ambulance base in Stavanger. Translated from Latin, it means "A moment for us, a lifetime for them."

The Norwegian Air Ambulance Foundation's research helicopter was also present, showcasing both the publicly funded service and the Foundation's research and development during prime time.
