After 30 years service Josie retires from the @NWAmbulance 👏🏼 Josie leaves @NWAmb_GMControl but has had a great impact in saving lives dispatching Ambulance resources to incidents. Thank you for your service. Have a great retirement Josie, & best wishes for the future. 💚 🚑

The things you never knew you needed to know about calling 999. This winter, our people explain in short reels what happens if you need an ambulance. They’ve lent a hand, so you’re prepared. Share with someone who might benefit. #MakeTheRightCall

Making a 999 call for anything that isn’t a life-threatening or serious emergency sadly puts lives at risk by taking up our valuable time and resources. Please pass the message on. Thank you.

I am delighted to share today that thanks to the work of colleagues @AACE_org the criteria for receipt of the Ambulance Service (Emergency Duties) Long Service and Good Conduct medal has been extended to include colleagues in contact centres/control rooms. Service claps will also now be available to recognise 30 and 40 years of service too. More here: gov.uk/government/publicatio…

Welcome to the team Sairah, you’ve got this! When call handlers join us they go through 6 weeks of nationally recognised classroom based training before being mentored by an existing colleague for 3 weeks. Interested? We’re recruiting now - nwas.nhs.uk/careers #Ambulance

Managing 999 demand is stressful on our teams in the control rooms and on the road, particularly on bank holidays but they all pull together and get through the difficult times. #Ambulance

“Because we are so busy, sometimes you don’t get time to think, you’re dealing with what’s in front of you... it’s only when you take a step back that you remember what’s going on.” Sending big hugs Nat. 🤗 💚#Ambulance

Our job can be an emotional rollercoaster, especially when we have our own personal challenges. We get a glimpse into the lives of our patients and the things they are going through. It’s human nature to relate to patients and want the best for them. 💚#Ambulance
