Emergency Medical Charities Plan to Merge
19 August 2008
Following high level talks between Cambridgeshire-based emergency medical charity Magpas and the East Anglian Air Ambulance (EAAA), the two organisations have agreed to plan a merger in order to create the most advanced emergency care service in the UK.
Both organisations provide a vital life-saving service across the region and have been sharing resources and expertise in Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire since September 2007. This service has been operated in conjunction with the East of England Ambulance NHS Trust.
The merger is at an early stage and both charities will now be working together closely to understand each other’s operations in more detail helping them to maximize the benefits of the merger and to overcome any potential difficulties. They will also consult extensively with their respective staff, supporters, stakeholders and legislative bodies.
The EAAA are shortlisted for the Charity Times Awards 2008
