West Midlands Ambulance Service #HelpUsHelpYou

We love hearing from our community and welcome respectful discussion. To keep our space safe and supportive for everyone, here’s a quick reminder of our community guidelines. 💬💚

Is your defib ready for the summer break? School holidays and reduced opening hours can affect whether a defib can be accessed in an emergency. Before the break: 🛑 Closed or changing your hours? Update your defib’s availability on thecircuit.uk, so 999 call handlers don’t direct someone to a defib they can’t access. ✅ Staying open or keeping your defib available? Record a status check so ambulance services know it’s ready if needed. Update now: thecircuit.uk ❤️ Thank you for helping to keep hearts beating.

We're 20 today! 🎈 Advanced assessment, diagnosis and treatment at home; fewer patients taken to hospital and a service that is far better prepared to respond are all the hallmarks of 20 years of transformation at WMAS. Chief Executive Officer Anthony Marsh said: "I want to thank every member of staff for the incredible difference you make every day. I'm immensely proud of everything we've achieved together over the last 20 years."
