🚨 FEMALE PARAMEDIC BRUTALLY ASSAULTED BY PATIENT AT ALTNAGELVIN HOSPITAL
A female paramedic with more than 37 years of service has suffered multiple injuries following a prolonged and violent assault by a male patient at Altnagelvin Hospital in Derry/Londonderry.
The Northern Ireland Ambulance Service (NIAS) has condemned the attack, which occurred as ambulance staff were helping the patient from a stretcher into a chair after transporting him to hospital.
According to NIAS, the man suddenly punched the paramedic in the face, knocking her to the ground and dislodging her glasses.
A second female paramedic attempted to intervene but was also threatened with violence as the man reportedly tried to strike her.
The attacker then turned his attention back to the injured paramedic, continuing to assault her while she lay defenceless on the ground.
The attack reportedly lasted several minutes, leaving the paramedic with injuries to her head, neck, face and hands. She is also believed to have suffered a concussion.
NIAS CHIEF EXECUTIVE CONDEMNS ATTACK
NIAS Chief Executive Jenny Keane expressed her horror at the incident, describing the assault as deeply disturbing.
She highlighted that the injured paramedic had dedicated more than 37 years of her career to caring for people in the local community.
Ms Keane also raised concerns about the potential long-term psychological impact on the injured paramedic and her colleagues who witnessed the attack.
She stressed that violence against ambulance personnel must never be regarded as an acceptable part of their duties and called for those responsible for assaults on healthcare workers to face the full force of the law.
LOCAL MLA SPEAKS OUT
SDLP Foyle MLA Sinéad McLaughlin, who personally knows the injured paramedic, also strongly condemned the incident.
She described the attack as appalling and expressed her concern for the woman's recovery, highlighting the pressures already facing frontline ambulance crews.
Ms McLaughlin called for greater protection for healthcare workers and for those responsible for such attacks to be held accountable.
Emergency service personnel dedicate their careers to helping others, often in extremely challenging circumstances. Violence against those providing lifesaving care is completely unacceptable.
Our thoughts are with the injured paramedic, her colleagues and everyone affected by this distressing incident.
