We couldn’t agree more… We’re so fortunate to have amazing support at @EastEnglandAmb from @EeastTbarker driving us forwards, Pat providing our training & local teams supporting us. ERs have already expanded within EEAST with @NARSBASICS - who will be next??
An awesome scheme that ALL trusts should follow: “Right asset, to right patient; in right time”
