WMAS used to be the ambulance service with the lowest rate of staff seasonal flu vaccine - but we turned it around and last year 80.1% of our frontline staff were vaccinated. One of the ways we did it was to put on flu clinics to fit around staff rosters, which is why @wmasJoshMiller was up very early this morning: “Our Frankley PTS base has crews on to transport dialysis patients for their treatment form 6.00am, so I arrived at 5.30am! Giving staff their flu vaccines, means one thing - Christmas is on the way!🎄🎉⛄🥂🎅 #FluFighter”
None of our emergency vehicles are more than five years old and we’re heading the same way with our non-emergency patient transport service fleet too. Tomorrow @wmasCallumS will heading down from Cheshire to Stafford for an early Crimbo pressie - a pile of brand new vehicles: “These will replace our '400' series (pictured). These will bring benefit for the patients we transport in #Cheshire and the #Wirral I'll be tweeting tomorrow and showing you the new design too 😁”
Well it’s not the most obvious outfit to wear when you are learning #CPR, but fair play to Alcester Court Leet’s High Bailiff who didn’t let a hat and ceremonial chain get in the way of his new skills. He wasn’t the only one getting hands on practicing CPR and using a defibrillator this afternoon at the Alcester Food Festival. Alcester Town Mayor & Deputy Mayor also learnt some new skills. Alceester CFRs are one of the Mayor’s Charities this year. Well done to everyone who has taken the time to learn how to be a #lifesaver during Restart a Heart week.
It’s always great to see how happy people are when they pass their final exams and become a #paramedic - it was certainly the case for Hannah: “So it’s official, I will be graduating from Coventry Uni as a paramedic next month with distinction 💁🏻‍♀️🎓👩🏻‍🎓🌟 all the hard work has paid off and time to look forward to getting on the road 🚑 #chuffed #imanadultnow” welcome to WMAS Hannah!
If you started Stoptober on the 1st October you are more than halfway through! Your circulation is improving and you’re already less likely to have a heart attack. Great work - keep going, the end will soon be in sight!
Crews race to a man suffering a seizure in this week's 999: On The Front Line but enroute they are warned by control that he has a history of violence against ambulance staff. Elsewhere, a man faces a life-threatening illness when coughing up blood. Join us at 9pm, Sunday, on More4.
On an extremely sad day for the Trust, family, friends and colleagues also gathered in Gornal this afternoon to say their final farewells to Simon Husslebee, who worked within the PTS sector at Wolverhampton and had been with the service since 1998. Rest in Peace Simon. 💚
Earlier today, family, friends and West Midlands Ambulance Service colleagues gathered in Rowley Regis to pay their final respects to the Trust's Chief Financial Accountant, Tracey Cole. May you rest in peace Tracey. 💚
A big yellow vehicle with 'West Midlands Ambulance Service' written on the side might have got a few strange looks in Barmouth yesterday, but there's quite a simple explanation. Cohort seven from our training academy were out and about on their driving training, managing to enjoy a short break to enjoy the stunning views. It's back into the classroom and law exams for them next week, when no doubt the seaside will feel a long way away! Good luck all. #driver #training #student #paramedics #seaside #barmouth
Not content with having played a part in Restart A Heart Day on Wednesday, Stacey - who works in our control room in Brierley Hill - is out and about teaching CPR again today. It is a lifesaving lesson that should never stop, would you have the knowledge to try and save a life? #cpr #cardiac #arrest #saving #lives #restartaheart #restartaheartday
