New focus on patients and staff for ambulance service
A turnaround plan to transform patient care and boost staff morale has been launched by the East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust.
The plan will build on measures announced earlier this year such as recruiting more front line staff and having more ambulances, and is focussed on building a successful 999 service within a thriving organisation. For more information and to download the plan CLICK HERE.
The Right Call
The Trust’s The Right Call campaign now takes centre stage to share with people how 999 calls are handled and prioritised. It focuses on how the ambulance service makes the right call for patients by assessing and grading each one for the right response time, and encourages people to make the right call for their medical need there and then.
Paramedic recruitment
We are currently recruiting qualified paramedics to help support our frontline workforce in maintaining an excellent level of service to patients. Vacancies are available across the Trust’s six counties.
