The final shift as Duty Centre Manager complete, after 38 years of service in #TeamWAST it was a pleasure to make this presentation to a well respected member of the team. All the very best for your retirement.

Our crews are really busy prioritising those who are seriously ill or injured. Please help us by using our service wisely and only calling 999 in a genuine emergency. If your call is not urgent, you will wait longer for an ambulance. For everything else there's @NHS111Wales.
Well done XPO, been pestering hubs to get one of these for site for ages πŸ‘πŸ»@NeilDurrant1979 #AED #XPO #keepingeachothersafe #defib #restarttheheart

This is without doubt one of the toughest jobs in any emergency ambulance service. As we celebrate our fantastic #TeamWAST Clinical Contact Centre staff this #InternationalControlRoomWeek read about their role and some of the team below.
It's #InternationalControlRoomWeek and we're shining a light on our #UnsungHeroes, including the brother and sister call handling trio, the cruise ship worker turned journey planner and the manager approaching her fourth decade in service. Full story πŸ‘‰ bit.ly/34al53b πŸ“ž

R rate ⚠️. Infections per 100k ⚠️. There have been reports of increased admissions ⚠️. These are all indicators of a second #Covid19 wave on the horizon. We all need to do the right thing now.

Covid-19 hasn't gone away. You may feel that you would hardly be affected if you were to catch it, but it could be extremely serious if you were to pass it to someone more vulnerable. Remember, we all have a responsibility to maintain social distancing and good hand hygiene.

Health services across Wales are working hard tonight to care for the most sick and vulnerable. As the pandemic continues, we ask you to continue to look after yourselves and each other and call 999 only if it's a genuine emergency. For everything else check out @NHS111Wales.
Any of my HB colleagues know when ABUHB are starting up their f2f physio appointments. Struggling since Feb and it’s really getting me down now. Call to my GP today & referred on but still only telephone apprs available! I’m sure I’ve seen other HB’s taking face 2 face appts?
Love this. Thank you @WilliamsRacing.
Carrying a very special message at our home race. To the entire NHS, and all key workers, we say thank you. #ThankYouNHS πŸ‘ | #BritishGP πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§ | #WeAreWilliams πŸ’™

Second conviction this week in Wales for behaviour toward our staff. If you lash out at our staff you risk being locked up. #TeamWAST
A man was given a suspended prison sentence yesterday for making abusive calls to the Welsh Ambulance Service. Director of Ops @_LeeBrooks said: β€œTime spent dealing with these calls was precious time which could have been spent helping others.” Full story: bit.ly/3f9M4OA

NEW VIDEO. We’re hearing a lot about the need to be resilient at the moment, but before you can become resilient there’s something else we need to develop. And not so many people are talking about the β€˜B’ word. So let me explain - with the help of a deflated beach ball...
