WAST MRT

Welsh Ambulance Service medical response team, providing care to patients in densely crowded areas & high profile events, accessing and extracting them on foot.

[Stephen North @steve_paramedic]

Love being a paramedic, and what a mixed week this week has been, from normal frontline ambulance shifts, to university day, a enhanced care observer shift for @BASICS_SCAS , and top it off with a @WastMrt shift as team leader. Always enjoy my job and take every chance to learn.

Another weekend, and another weekend our dedicated team members have given up in order to provide professional medical cover to those in our capital city tonight. Everyone say hi if your passing and have a great evening.

A first for our team normally cardiff being our regular patch, but today we had a team in Newport. Great to see 2 specialist #TEAMWAST teams working closely together today to ensure everyone enjoyed themselves in safety.

Busy inaugural @WastMrt shift in the port #youknowsit covering @NewportCounty and the city centre economy. Lovely to bump into #teamWAST CRU

Huge thanks to @theLOUNGERS for taking care of us on a cold shift covering @WastMrt @NewportCounty

[Welsh Ambulance @WelshAmbulance]

We are experiencing high levels of demand across #Wales. You can #HelpUsHelpYou by:

🆘Only calling 999 for a serious or life-threatening emergency
📞Only calling back if the patient's condition worsens or they no longer need our help
💻 Using the @NHS111Wales symptom checkers

Happy New Year to everyone. Tonight we have 2 teams out working along side other @WelshAmbulance resources to keep you safe while your out celebrating. It’s a wet one but everyone is in good spirits. Most of all have fun and stay safe. HAPPY NEW YEAR 🥳🎉🎉

[WAST MRT @WastMrt]

Our MRT team are out and about once again tonight, it’s certainly a busy one tonight with shoppers and the party goers. Our teams have been very proactive and busy every deployment over the festive period. We wish everyone a happy xmas eve eve.

Bumped into our medical response team in Cardiff city centre this afternoon as they ready for tonight’s crowd. Have a good shift and may Cardiff be kind. #TeamWAST

[WAST MRT @WastMrt]

Ho Ho Ho! We have a team out and about today in #cardiff helping provide medical cover for the @WelshAmbulance due to the increased shopping and night life. Hope everyone out has fun and stays safe. If you see us out and about pop by and say hi.

Selfie Saturday for the @WastMrt supporting the 🎅🏼 night time economy with multiple @WelshAmbulance assets in the city. 14 jobs so far and 3hrs to go before end of shift 🫡

A year ago (+1) since Operation London Bridge!
What an event to be involved in 😔 👑

[WAST MRT @WastMrt]

Members of the team joint training with @PoliceMedics @swpolice last week, we work closely alongside our police colleagues regularly and joint training only improves relationships and patient care.

Brief selfie stop at #aneurinbevan on a very busy @WastMrt shift for @WelshAmbulance. The nighttime economy is in full swing 💃🏼🤢🥴🕺🏻

[Tony Crandon @tony_crandon]

First operational MRT under my belt today, a very busy city centre, the score didn't stop people enjoying themselves, thanks to the team for looking after me. @WelshAmbulance

[Stephen North @steve_paramedic]

What an amazing day of CPD training with @WastMrt alongside @PoliceMedics @swpolice looking at how we can work together to provide excellent patient care. Amazing bunch of officers and medics thanks @anthonyfrenchc for helping organise it all.

[Stephen North @steve_paramedic]

Great shift yesterday in cardiff, and a first having 2 @WastMrt teams deployed to cover the match and busy nighttime economy. Great to be back out boots on the ground. Saving A&E attendances and cutting demand on WAST operational crews. Well done all.

@EMT_Steve @jasonkillens @Ldn_Ambulance @WelshAmbulance @AACE_org @danielelkeles Here’s the full team post briefing the night before the big day

[Jason Killens KAM @jasonkillens]

We’ve had around 25 #TeamWAST colleagues (here’s some pictured earlier) on mutual aid to @Ldn_Ambulance today in support of the state funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Thanks to colleagues who’ve been part of our deployment.
