“I decided to put myself forward as a Governor as I wanted to give something back to my community.
“Being a WMAS governor has allowed me to much better understand the way the ambulance service works. I have also had the opportunity to go out and obverse paramedics in action; experiencing some of the challenges they face and seeing for myself the level care and compassion they offer patients.”
As part of Louise’s Governor role, she also sits on the Trust’s Constitutional Development Forum.
