Ambulance

The Ambulance Service we know today is very different from the old grab-and-go days. In this section, we have gathered stories from the time of Ambulance Drivers and Nurses to the professionally trained paramedics and specialised crews of today. The Ambulance service was the first emergency service in recent years to have more females in front-line roles than any other service.

Recent history is as important as stories told during the terrifying nights of the Blitz and has been compared to working through the recent pandemic. Below, you will find stories from inspirational people like Edith Pyecroft and her role during WWII.
