Heartbreaking 💔. It’s really important that staff open up and speak about traumatic and difficult incidents with each other. We also have specialist clinicians trained to look out for colleagues who may benefit from some extra support. We love you Mags. #Ambulance

Delighted that @NWAmbulance has been rated good overall again in our Emergency and Urgent Care & Emergeny Operations Centre following the recent unannounced @CareQualityComm inspection. Thank you to all our staff & volunteers who do an amazing job in these challenging times

This is very good. Please share. #NHSstaff #paramedics #ambulance

And well deserved - we too are so grateful to the fine efforts by our colleagues at @stjohnambulance ... and we hope you all continue to #staysafe.

Did you call for an #ambulance in #LondonBridge yesterday? Did you wait longer than you should have done for our help? Sorry, unfortunately we had to take one of our vital responders off the run because #FootballsComingHome Not fun, not clever and totally unacceptable.
