There are a number of ways you can get involved with your local
ambulance service.
Become a member
NHS trusts are changing in a way which will
enable us to involve our patients, our local communities and
our staff more closely in how we run our service. We will do
this by becoming an NHS foundation trust. We would like you to
support us by becoming a member and having a greater say about the
services we provide and how we deliver them.
Find out more about becoming a member.
Become a governor
When we become an NHS foundation trust we will have elected
and nominated governors who will form our Council of
Governors.
Find out more about the role of a governor and
how to become one.
Attend an event
Throughout the year we hold a number of seminars for our
members on a range of topics, including stroke and heart care
and public education.
Find out more about our events.
Get involved with our community projects and events
We run a wide-ranging public education programme which aims to
increase understanding of our work, how people should use the 999
service and what they should do in a medical emergency.
Read more about our community and public education
programme.
How we get involved with schools and public education
The public education team organises special events, including
junior citizen schemes, crime and safety awareness days, and school
visits.

Become a volunteer medic in your community
You can help your local ambulance service by becoming an
ambulance community responder. You will be trained to attend
emergency calls in your local area and provide first aid to
patients until an ambulance arrives.
