Change of scenery yesterday working along side an ED consultant on the Aneurin Bevan physician response unit (PRU). Assisting crews, Hospital avoidance and providing advanced treatments on scene. Was a great day and can truly say we’ve helped the system and we’ve helped patients directly.

Thank you to our fab #TeamWAST staff/volunteers for all that you are doing in challenging times. Sorry to patients who’ve had to wait as a result of the pressure.

Please think before ringing do you really need an ambulance. Can you get yourself to hospital if you need to, please help us help you.
