Magpas has been operating for over 40 years.

Magpas supports the Ambulance Service by providing the Magpas Helimedix Air Ambulance and a Magpas specialist medical team, despatched to cases of life-threatening illness or major trauma within the East of England.

The charity operates a helicopter and rapid response car, staffed by highly trained Pre-Hospital Doctors and EEAST Paramedics, many of whom volunteer their own time to work with us.

Magpas Helimedix are on call to provide extended medical care where it is needed most. The organisation currently operates 18 hours a day, but is working towards a 24/7 service by introducing 24 hour cover two days a week.

The charity works closely with EEAST Ambulance Service NHS Trust and Cambridge University Hospital Trust (CUH).
