Magpas Air Ambulance brings the very best pre-hospital emergency care, in the air or on land, including treatments usually only available in a hospital.
What we do
Our service operates 24/7 and, on average, answers four calls for help a day, treating around 900 patients in life-threatening emergencies every year.
We serve the communities of Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire and across the East of England, and are dispatched by both the East of England and the East Midlands Ambulance Service Trusts—caring for a population of over 10 million.
