Our Lead Emergency Care Assistants (LECAs) perfectly complement our Lead Paramedic Team. Well done on a fantastic day 👍

How cute 🥰 @swasFT

Thank you from us to everyone for their assistance as we responded to approximately 620 incidents relating to #StormEunice yesterday. There was a real sense of community spirit as emergency services, both councils and even members of the public all played a key role.

We love a bit of good news. Justin has supported us in our recent round of Lead Paramedic assessments , ensuring we reach fair and transparent assessment decisions.

We’re currently receiving a high number of #StormEunice related calls. Please only phone 999 if there is an immediate risk to safety such as a fallen live power cable. You can report trees fallen on to a major road to @HighwaysSWEST and on local roads to your local authority.

As we head into the weekend please consider your healthcare options: 💊 Pharmacists can offer clinical advice on minor health concerns ⚠️Visit 111.nhs.uk for urgent care or if you're not sure what to do 🚑 Only use 999 in emergencies

Thank you to all motorists who made the effort not to travel unless necessary. We are inundated with reports of trees down across the county. Please continue to not travel unless absolutely necessary.

With #StormEunice arriving now, we're working closely with our partners to keep you safe. If you're suffering a life-threatening emergency, please call 999. If not, please consider using other healthcare services: 111, minor injury units, your GP or pharmacies. Stay safe 🔴

We hope everyone is safe as Storm Eunice hits the county. This will be a running thread to keep you up to date with the latest incidents. Further details on our website ➡️ wiltshire.police.uk/news/wiltshire… Please remember to secure loose items and only travel if necessary. #StormEunice

Thank you to all of our people, emergency services colleagues, and health care partners for your fantastic efforts in response to the train derailment incident in #Salisbury yesterday evening. Our thoughts are with those injured & their families, as well as the local community.

#Lead ECA really exciting project

Very proud of your achievements and our commitment to Lead Paramedic Development.

We are experiencing very high demand on our 999 emergency service across the South West area. Please call 111 for medical assistance and advice and only dial 999 in a genuine, life-threatening emergency 💚 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

👍

We’re in for a hot few days , our staff are working so very hard. Help keep the heat off them and only call 999 if you have a genuine life threatening emergency. Remember to keep hydrated 🌞.

We are hoping for a win for #England tonight , but we ask people’s of Wiltshire and BaNES to act sensibly and to only call 999 if you have a life threatening emergency. Our teams are really busy currently and it is essential that we are free for genuine emergencies.

Fantastic , thank you so much
