NORTH EAST AMBULANCE SERVICE
Yesterday I had the pleasure of visiting staff at the North East Ambulance Service to see first-hand some of the life-saving work that is carried out everyday.
Call handlers and emergency medical dispatchers often work under difficult and challenging circumstances but everyone I met was hugely enthusiastic about their job. I was particularly impressed with the new ambulances and equipment. It is reassuring to know that such a dedicated, professional and well equipped team will be on hand should we ever be in need of their services.
This visit was also a great opportunity to talk directly to the wonderful people who are a vital part of the NHS team which has seen us through the really difficult few years.
They have all done a tremendous job and on behalf of all my constituents I wanted to thank them for all they have done.
It’s also worth mentioning that the NE Ambulance Service is still actively recruiting for staff across our region, details of which can be found here: https://www.jobs.nhs.uk/xi/search_vacancy?action=page&page=1
