What does the Air Ambulance do?
Quite Simply - it saves lives.
Since its foundation in 2000, the charity has expanded to provide a 365 day a year service covering Cambridgeshire, Norfolk and Suffolk. The air ambulance is vital for quick responses to accidents that may occur in remote or difficult to reach areas. many car drivers and bike riders owe their lives to the swift action of the Air Ambulance and the supporting team.
With the assistance of the NHS Ambulance Trust and the Magpas Emergency medical team, our second Air Ambulance is now covering Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire. MAGPAS is a charity based in Cambridge, supplying highly trained volunteer doctors to assist the NHS Trust paramedics fly on the second Air Ambulance five days a week. The East Anglian Air Ambulance is currently paying for the NHS Trust paramedics on the second helicopter.
