Hear the moment seven year old Jessica Davison called 999 back in February, when her mum Rhian suffered a seizure at their home.
Today we shall be presenting Jessica with an EMAS bravery award for her courage.

The people of #Ukraine are defending their right to live. It’s that simple. They deserve all the support they can get to defend this right and to live and prosper as a sovereign nation living in peace.

Sian and Stuart are both Apprentice Fleet Vehicle Technicians. They're part of our amazing team who service and repair over 300 vehicles in our fleet 🚑 Without the hard work of qualified and apprentice mechanics, our emergency vehicles wouldn't be out on the road saving lives💚
After a busy work week, good to have a slow start to the day. Lovely cuppa and cake at the new Jenno’s at Carlton Park, to gird my loins ahead of the Christmas pressie shop in Leicester next.

Two sisters from Toton, Nottinghamshire have both received bravery awards from EMAS. Maisie and Grace Tooley, aged 11 and 12 respectively, came to their dad’s rescue when he became seriously unwell at home on 13 September 2024.

Q: What is considered a life-threatening emergency?
A: Only call 999 if there is an immediate risk to life eg cardiac arrest, unconscious or catastrophic bleed, or if seriously ill or injured, eg stroke.
Ambulances will be dispatched where clinically appropriate.
EMAS Emergency Medical Advisor Tim: “[Daniel] was able to start CPR on Sian within seconds of the call, which gave her a fighting chance.”
Sian: “What’s happened just reiterates the importance for everyone to know how to do CPR because you can literally save somebody’s life”

Keep our ambulances for people who need emergency life-saving care.
If you need help finding urgent medical care, call 111.

Our staff and volunteers work tirelessly to help all patients who need life-saving help. Violence and aggression towards them is never acceptable.
They deserve to #WorkWithoutFear.
Across the country amazing people volunteer their time and skills to help people in their community, and the local ambulance service.
