MPs from across the UK gathered in Parliament on Tuesday for the Association of Air Ambulances annual Parliamentary Reception.

Our charity was represented by medics Dr Anna Dobbie and Chris Doyle, and CEO Jonathan Jenkins at the event, hosted by London MP Jim Fitzpatrick in his role as Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group for Air Ambulances.

We welcomed a large number of London MPs who were able to meet some of our lifesaving crew and thank them for the work they do every day in the capital, treating the most critically injured.

Speaking about the House of Commons event, CEO of London’s Air Ambulance, Jonathan Jenkins said;

“It is really important for our service to have good relationships with decision makers so we can call on their support when needed. The reception was a great opportunity to say thanks to some of our long standing MP supporters, and also introduce ourselves to politicians who maybe didn’t know as much about our charity or the air ambulance community.”
