Be mindful of the dangers around waterways this weekend. Always ensure children are supervised while swimming, swim at lifeguarded waterways and never mix alcohol with water activities @IWSie
Night work is hugely important in the ambulance service. Big thank you to all our colleagues who regularly work nights to keep our service going and be there for the patients in our communities who need our assistance.

When an individual suffers a cardiac arrest in the community, minutes matter in order to try and save that person’s life. If you are a bystander and see this happen immediately call 112/999.

In 2021 we received 1,385 hoax/bogus calls. Hoax calls are, thankfully, quite rare, but they divert resources away from genuine emergencies and can delay responses to patients who are seriously ill or injured.
#Ambulance
If you call 112/999 but then no longer need an ambulance, contact us and let us know, so that we can prioritise our resources to life threatening calls.
