Quotes

“I did an observer shift as a student nurse recently and was lucky enough to work alongside a Magpas Doctor and Paramedic.  What a great and dedicated team.  Really is a worthy cause and something we should all be raising money for.  After-all, we might be in need of their service one day”

Received from Claire Webster (via facebook) after an observer shift with Magpas

“Many thanks for the birthday wishes, feels a bit of a special birthday for me as I shouldn’t really be here so thank you Magpas for the gift of LIFE”

Received from Mark Dean (via facebook) following an incident attended by Magpas in March 2011 at Lexton

“I would like to take this opportunity to thank-you for all you did for Gary when the accident happened.  Gary was in a bad way and you helped him through it.  I cannot describe how much I appreciate what you did.  Your skills have allowed our son to grow up knowing his Dad.  If there is any way in which I can help you raise awareness of your work I would love to.  Thanks again!”
