#Vacancy: Director of #Paramedic Practice, @swasFT. SWASFT invite applications for their first paramedic board role. An incredibly important driver to their cultural and #clinical development, you will be a visible and inspirational clinical #leader. >> aace.org.uk/news/vacancies/
Great to recognise Tony Fox’s outstanding Chairmanship of ⁦@swasFT⁩ with High Sheriff’s Award and visit Emergency Operations Centre. Impressed by calm & caring approach of call handlers, dispatchers and clinicians doing their best for patients in often trying circumstances

Sadly, someone in #Bideford let down the tyre of a paramedic's car while they were with a patient this weekend. Vandalism of any ambulance vehicle is #unacceptable. If anyone has any information, get in touch with @BidefordPolice via 101 quoting log 15 26/06/2022.

More courageous Ukrainians will receive lifesaving care thanks to this generous donation of surplus ambulances by @swasFT this week. The UK's support for Ukraine is unwavering and the 5 million medical items we've given to them have helped save tens of thousands of lives. 🇬🇧🇺🇦
