Midlands Air Ambulance Charity (MAAC) was formed in 1991 and provides a well-established, long serving, pre-hospital, helicopter-led emergency service across the six counties of Gloucestershire, Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, the West Midlands and Worcestershire. We offer enhanced critical care provision, bringing hospital-level procedures and medicines and specialist Doctor and Critical Care Paramedic skills to the patient at the scene.
Our Vision: Saving lives by saving time, today, tomorrow and in the future.
Our Mission: To provide patients with outstanding pre-hospital care and life saving intervention through the operation of helicopter led emergency medical services.
We operate three aircraft from locations across our geography, along with a fleet of Rapid Response Vehicles and Critical Care Cars in support of our mission. MAAC currently funds its services entirely by fundraising – raising circa £15 million each year to meet that cost. However, MAAC’s five year strategy includes further income diversification.
In 2021 we celebrated our 30-year anniversary, and in April 2022 we became an independent healthcare provider with CQC registration and employing our own Doctors and Critical Care Paramedics.
We are a forward thinking, fast paced organisation comprising of many parts. We operate:
MAAC’s head office is currently in Stourbridge, West Midlands. MAAC’s head office will be moving in Spring 2023 to MAAC’s new purpose-built airbase and charity headquarters in Cosford on the Shropshire/ Staffordshire border.
