NARS Paramedics Craig & Tom are out on shift today. After their first tasking they are discussing scenarios while waiting for the next 999 call. Both give time up for this shift voluntarily and if you see them out and about do stop and speak to them, we promise they don’t bite!

[Norfolk Accident Rescue Service (NARS) @NARSBASICS]

@EastEnglandAmb have partnered with us to launch a new ER Scheme in Norfolk. Building on the success of BHECCS, NARS Emergency Responders will attend 999 calls on blue lights, delivering life-saving care.

Stay tuned for details on how to get involved! #NARS #EEAST
