Diolch to all the advanced paramedics in Wales ๐
Since their introduction in 2018, 70% fewer people have needed to be taken to emergency departments.
Weโre working to increase the number of these life-savers in our GPs, community care centres and rapid response vehicles โค๏ธ
So immensely proud to be representing #teamWAST at #nhswalesawards22 for the amazing work weโre doing in the Intermediate Care Team putting the patient first ๐
