Could it be Sepsis?

“For a condition that takes 44,000 lives every year, it is astonishing how few people know what it is. That’s one of the reasons we want to help highlight the dangers of SEPSIS to the public.”

NHS Friends and Family Test

The NHS Friends and Family Test (FFT) is an important opportunity for our patients to give us feedback on the care and treatment received so that we can further improve our services.

West Midlands Ambulance Service is asking you to use your ambulance service wisely.
Please only call 999 in a life-threatening emergency. Thank you.

Welcome to WMAS

wmas-regional-map This is the official website of West Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust.

The Trust serves a population of 5.6 million people covering an area of more than 5,000 square miles made up of Shropshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, Coventry, Birmingham and Black Country conurbation. As the region’s emergency ambulance service, we respond to around 4,000 ‘999’ calls each day. To manage that level of demand, we employ approximately 5,000 staff and operate from 15 new fleet preparation hubs across the region.

We also provide non-emergency patient transport services across some parts of the region for those patients who require non-emergency transport to and from hospital and who are unable to travel unaided because of their medical condition or clinical need. Our staff complete approximately 1,000,000 non-emergency patient journeys each year.

A massive heartfelt thanks to the crew @officialwmas who were sent out this morning and administered glucagon to my partner as a result of a severe diabetic hypo. Thoroughly professional and very knowledgeable throughout. A fantastic job, we cannot thank you enough.
