Magpas Air Ambulance is a charitable organization that delivers pre-hospital medical care to people in life-threatening emergencies, operating by air and on the ground across the East of England and beyond, around the clock. Its medical team undergoes enhanced training to perform procedures at the scene that would typically be reserved for hospital settings, including general anaesthesia. As a non-profit entity, it relies on public donations since it is not funded by the state. Founded in 1971, Magpas is the oldest emergency medical charity in the United Kingdom, reflecting a long-standing clinical heritage. Based in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, the charity coordinates responses using an air ambulance or a rapid response vehicle to incidents across 12 counties in the region and beyond. In addition to emergency response, Magpas provides training for doctors and paramedics who wish to specialise in pre-hospital emergency medicine.
