[WAS Ambulances UK @WASAmbulances]

We were delighted to have the opportunity to present our fully operational E-Ambulance to @Ldn_Ambulance @GreenerNHS @watts_nick @ChrisAmbulance
Great to see the vehicle being driven around London and talk about its benefits/capabilities and to discuss what this means to LAS.

[ASPolice Roads Policing (RPU) @ASPRoadSafety]

Words fail us...
X marks exact spot where chap parked his car for a nap overnight. Whilst twice the drink drive limit. That's a road. Those gates... the entrance to Almondsbury RPU.
Our colleagues woke him, and kindly provided a comfier bed at the nearby custody suite. 😂🤦‍♂️^SD

We are currently experiencing high demand on our service.

Please only dial 999 in a life threatening emergency. 🚑

[South Western Ambulance Service @swasFT]

We have declared a critical incident due to extreme pressures on our service.

As a result, some patients may wait longer for an ambulance while others could be advised to access alternative services if their call is not life-threatening.

@EdHill0 You'll never be answering awkward questions in criminal or coroners court for using them, but could be for not using them. It's in case law, emergency response drivers have been held culpable for not using all emergency warning equipment available to them while responding.....

[TyreSafe @Tyresafe]

Tyres are the only parts of the car which are in contact with the road, making it of paramount importance that they are always maintained in good condition and that when the time comes to change them, the correct replacements are fitted

[Shane Clark @shanekeithclark]

So proud of my lad raising £785 for @swasFT @Glos_SWASFT for 7 new @3M @3MNews respirator hoods - today with social distancing he was able to hand them over. #999family #COVID19 #3m #Ambulance

[RoSPA Road Safety @roadsafety]

⚠️Never put your feet on a vehicle dashboard - airbags deploy at an extremely high speed, meaning they can cause severe injury if you are not sat correctly.

Please read our airbag advice here for information including airbags and child car seats: https://t.co/0C92o4yXJJ

[WAS Ambulances UK @WASAmbulances]

Great to see the @EEAST_HART ATV Carriers and Polaris on base and effectively clearing the base!
Looking forward to seeing more pictures of them out in service.

[Blue Light Aware #BlueLightAware @bluelightaware]

Emergency vehicles need sufficient space in order to pass you.
But some vehicles are bigger than others. Watch our #BlueLightAware
video and learn how to allow room for all emergency vehicles

[Blue Light Aware #BlueLightAware @bluelightaware]

An emergency vehicle
will never expect or
want you to break the
law or make a
dangerous move to
allow them to pass.
So what should you
do? Watch our
