As paramedics we make a difference, as public and private responders, academics, teachers, researchers, humanitarians, leaders, and consultants, to name just a few of the diverse roles that make up this wonderful profession. Today, on International @ParamedicsDay, we acknowledge and celebrate our collective impact on communities the world over #IPD2024 #TheDifferenceWeMake

Many of our staff/volunteers don't get to spend Christmas Day with their families and friends - they're too busy saving lives and making sure the rest of us can have a wonderful Christmas. Today, we wish them and all our communities across the North West, a very merry Christmas.

Merry Christmas to all my old colleagues especially all those working over the festive holidays. Stay safe and remember you do the most incredible work under immense pressures. It was my true honour to work alongside you all and I miss the ambulance service each and everyday 💚🎄

This has to stop not just for Ambulance crews , but for all emergency workers !!!

Fortunately the police were already on the scene and arrested the patient, who has since been convicted and ordered to pay the paramedic compensation. In the last year, there were 561 reports of physical assault on ambulance crews. Full story: londonambulance.nhs.uk/2023/… (2/2)

Earlier I joined colleagues from #TeamWAST and other ambulance services across the UK at the @TASCharity #NASM2023 to remember those no longer with us. It was a privilege to read The Emergency Services Poem as part of the service.

What an amazing vehicle for #Ukraine. Sadly this type of specialist ambulance is very much needed out there. Great design and build by @VenariUK #VenariGroupUK #SlavaUkraïni #SlavaUkraine – at United Kingdom
Another great day with great people, handing over another innovative conversion for a specifically challenging role in Ukraine 🇺🇦🤝🇬🇧 #UKmfg

Twice @NWAmbulance have saved my dad's life after OOHCA. As a family we are forever grateful for their efforts on those days. Seeing team green turn up when hell Is unfolding in front of you,is a feeling I'll never be able to describe.

We respond to 14,000 cardiac arrests in London every year, and anyone can save a life. Early CPR and defibrillation before medics arrive can double someone’s chances of survival! It’s so great so many people signing up to become #LondonLifesavers 👇🤩
