So after been a volunteer responder for the Ambulance service for the last 11 years, I had a new recruit (daughter) out with me tonight. Very strange feeling for both of us but she’s had her first job and she did amazing! @YASCFR @YorksAmbulance 🚑

Booked off 9 hours later, been to 7 CAT 1 incidents and 2 CAT 2 incidents, every crew I worked alongside was amazing and a credit to the #NHS . Hope all patients make a speedy recovery. That's my shift done, now for some family time. @YASCFR @YorksAmbulance #CFR #YAS
