Jeff Hunter

I began my paramedic training at the University of Hertfordshire in 2013 and graduated with a BSc (Hons) in Paramedic Science in 2016. I started my career with the London Ambulance Service, working on double crewed ambulances.

Since then, I’ve held various roles, including as a solo responder in fast response vehicles and the Tactical Response Unit, clinical advisor in the clinical hub, and most recently, as a Clinical Team Manager, leading a team of clinicians and supporting them on complex incidents.

Chris Philcox

Chris sits within our Philanthropy, Partnerships and Events team working with Individual supporters, committed to London's Air Ambulance Charity mission and vision. Chris worked in broadcast television and live sports broadcasting before changing careers and moving into the world of fundraising. Chris previously worked with youth development charity, British Exploring Society before moving to London's Air Ambulance Charity.

Anna Paine

Anna provides advice and training to ensure all our fundraising practices are the best they can be. She’s been developing her career in the not-for-profit sector since 2018, previously working for Look Ahead and Macmillan Cancer Support.

James Bennett

 

"I’ve been a paramedic since 2016 and joined London’s Air Ambulance in November 2024. Outside of my role as a HEMS paramedic, I work as a Clinical Team Manager with the London Ambulance Service, where I support a team of frontline clinicians in delivering high-quality patient care.

I hold a Master’s degree in Advanced Healthcare Practice and have a strong interest in critical care. I believe in progress, not perfection — a mindset that guides my ongoing development and approach to patient care.

Ollie joined the London Ambulance Service in 2012 and qualified as a paramedic in 2014. He holds a BSc in Paramedic Practice and a DipIMC from the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh (RCSEd).
