Hunter New England Retrieval Service growing momentum.

They are the team that no one really knows flying in a machine that is famous throughout the world. The doctors and nurses from the John Hunter Intensive Care Unit make up the bulk of the HNEHS. These highly skilled professionals manage and retrieve critically ill adults and children from all over the Upper Hunter and up as far as Coffs Harbour and even beyond. The team comprises a senior doctor and a highly trained ICU registered nurse. They work very closely together to make the patient stable enough to transport. Speaking of transport the teams uses a combination of the NSW Ambulance Service and Westpac Rescue Helicopter

In its 35 year history The HNERS (formally known as the John Hunter Retrieval Service and even the Newcastle Retrieval Service located at the Royal Newcastle Hospital) had never had a formal photograph taken. Winding Creek was commissioned to undertake the mammoth task of shooting an entire retrieval team on the John Hunter Hospital Pad together with 2 helicopters. The pressure was on it costs about $1000.00/hour to run these machines and they wont come back for seconds. The result was fantastic some of the shots you can see below. A 1.2 meter panoramic now is home in the hallway of the John Hunter ICU. I would personally like to thank Jamie Bisson, Ian Gill and Janet Maher from the HNERS and the boys from Westpac you were all nothing short of fantastic.
