We’ve teamed up with @NWAmbulance to launch a new mental health response vehicle, from 1pm to 1am.
A mental health practitioner and an emergency medical technician will respond to 999 calls where the person is experiencing a mental health crisis, treating them at the scene.
Spent the morning in Blackburn teaching a CPD session for colleagues on all things Mental Health/MHA/MCA. Some great discussion on real case examples 🚑
1/3 We will see disruptions across all of our services today, please only call 999 for life-threatening injuries or illnesses.
If you are calling us about a mental health concern, please use the mental health crisis lines available in your area:
A maths question for Rishi Sunak:
If you promised to hire 50,000 additional nurses but 40,000 nurses quit last year, how many nurses are you short of your target thanks to your refusal to improve pay and conditions?
