00:00A specialist helipad at King's College Hospital is marking 10 years of getting critically ill patients into emergency care faster.
00:08The rooftop landing site in Denmark Hill is one of London's busiest hospital helidecks and the only one operating around
00:16the clock.
00:17Before it opened in October 2016, helicopters had to land in nearby Ruskin Park, leaving patients facing an onward journey
00:25that could take almost half an hour.
00:27Now, the transfer from landing to the resuscitation department can take under five minutes.
00:33Hospital data shows more than 2,300 landings in a decade.
00:38The team includes a trauma nurse, a security officer and specially trained porters.
