I was debating making RRVs Critical Care, but I'm not quite sure.
In london I would have the APPs and Air Ambulance Response cars as critical care, not regular rrv's.

That's what I have at the moment, but there isn't enough APP & HEMS to cover the demand for CC.
Have the two Air ambulances at Northolt and RLH and set the stations to 'inactive' this will mean you dont get any calls requiring 'HEMS'. train the helicopter personel in critical care and then the two HEMS units will be able to treat critical care too.
If this doesnt help then you may need to research about specialist doctors based out of hospitals in response cars, although I dont know much about this myself.
Or you could use Some HART or EPRR Units as Critical care units too
Hopefully that should help you!

Not to sure about London, but in the East Midlands we have EMICS, which are volunteer doctors. They are like a HEMS RRV, so maybe search for critical care doctor organisations in London.
Londons HART units would be a good shout for extra CC capacity. Could also look into ECMO and other specialist hospital services that carry doctors on blues.

This is a good shout, thanks! I used to have EPRR units as Critical Care until I found out they are more "Command/Tactical" than a emergency care kinda unit. I will do that for HEMS and I'll look into HART, thanks!
