I said earlier this week I had never been prouder of the @TVAirAmb team. Then this happened.
A significant moment in our 21-year history as a #Charity. We are delighted to announce an #Outstanding rating from the @CareQualityComm, becoming the first #AirAmbulance in the country to receive the highest available grade. Read more at bit.ly/395xXXH
I’ve tried to persevere with @Ocado since they stopped the multi-search option. But it’s just taking too much time. Looking for recommendations for another UK supermarket that offers a recurring weekly 1 hour slot and multi search #poorservice #ableist #onlinegrocery

It's #WorldHelloDay so say hi to the crews serving your region today 👋
Your critical care team in the North East are paramedic Ian, paramedic Sarah, and Dr Phil. In Cumbria, paramedic Andy, Dr John, and pilot Mik are on duty.
Both teams are ready to respond if you need them 💚
Rather tricky to cross Piccadilly in a wheelchair just now. @limebike completely blocking the dropped curb

Four years today since my boss and great friend @JBrokenshire left us.
I miss him all the time; his integrity and example inspire me every day.

I’m a wheelchair user. So impressed with overnight crossing from Portsmouth to Saint-Malo with @BrittanyFerries yesterday. Wide doors & lift from the car deck, fabulous accessible cabin with a shower room that was actually accessible!

A message from us about yesterday's tragic fire in #Bicester.
ALT We would like to express our deepest condolences to the friends and family of those who lost their lives as a result of yesterday’s tragic fire in Bicester, and our concerns for those who remain in hospital. We work closely with the fire service and all our emergency service partners every day, coming together to care for our community. That’s why last night’s incident was an especially difficult one for our critical care paramedic and doctor crews to attend. We will continue to do all that we can to support those affected and their families at this extremely difficult time.
Congratulations! Very well deserved.
Memorable night @wembleystadium! I was very lucky to get an award from The Princess Royal at the @TheBQF British Quality awards for my role as CEO of @Magpas_Charity. Great fun celebrating with the @AirAmbulancesUK team too. Thank you team @Magpas_Charity for nominating me 🧡💚
.@SW_Help Once again the lift is not working at Bracknell Station. It was working when I left just before lunch. My car, with my wheelchair hoist, is in Bracknell and I am in now in Wokingham
Hello @SW_Help. Guess what has happened (again) at Bracknell station. And I checked the lifts were working at 1500 today. I’m in a wheelchair and the station is unmanned – at Ascot, South East
Just been told (again) by the (same) passenger assistance individual on platform 24 at Waterloo that he isn’t able to assist me as a wheelchair user. It’s not always possible to roll past 10 carriages (and then back again) to find the guard. – at Camden Town, London
Disappointed with wheelchair accessibility in @waitrose Bracknell just now. Access to scanner station blocked and a permanent obstacle to some of the fridges. The staff are fabulous and helpful, but I want to be able to shop independently – at South East, England
My family in Stoke have experienced excellent care from @MAA_Charity this year. – at Winnersh, England
(2/2) For clarification, it is important to note that Stoke Air Ambulance/HESE is a separate organisation and is IN NO WAY connected to Midlands Air Ambulance Charity. You can read more about the clarification ➡️ midlandsairambulance.com/leg…
At the hairdresser on my first day of Christmas leave. At the basin next to me is a lady talking about how she has just raised £600 for @TVAirAmb! Loved being able to say thank you in person. – at Winnersh, England

Rather than join the UK rail sector in celebrating International Day disabled ppl ,TGT told NCE: “It is really disappointing that the deadline for Level Boarding has been missed by more than four years already and it is going to be 100 years before I can get on a train on my own
