Words aren't enough to thank your staff for what they did for me. I died and they brought me back and have given me a second chance at life.

Getting involved

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.
