Important to catch up with crews and Will Warrender University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust following a very challenging week for delays. Trusted colleagues, team working and a relentless focus on good quality patient care unites us …. More to do we recognise

Enjoying my Friday out on the road in Plymouth. Thank you to my crew mates Mark and Gary for your patience (excuse the pun!).

Fantastic news! What an achievement. I’m so proud of you all!

Really proud to share we have launched our new five-year Trust #Strategy. It represents a renewal of our commitment to continually improve the care we give to our patients across the South West. #TeamSWASFT You can read about it here - swast.nhs.uk/welcome/about-…

To the #nurses that I am proud to work alongside at #TeamSWASFT, thank you for your dedication, commitment and care. #happyinternationalnursesday to you and all your nursing colleagues around the world! Thank you for everything you do.

#MentalHealthAwarenessWeek starts today & it’s important to me that we support each other. #TeamSWASFT has an award-winning Wellbeing team to support all of our people so they can stay emotionally, physically & socially well. Please reach out if you need any help or support.

Today is the start of #VolunteersWeek. Everyday, #TeamSWASFT volunteers support us within their local communities. Sometimes the difference is providing reassurance before an ambulance arrives; sometimes it is saving someone’s life. Thank you for everything you do!

I’m Buckfast Abbey today for the last day of #VolunteersWeek. Thanks to a £128,000 grant from our NHS Charities Together 💙, our volunteer Community First Responders will be boosted by these 6 new cars. Congratulations and thank you to South Western Ambulance Charity 💚💙 for securing the grant! #TeamSWASFT

I’ve just visited the Green Futures Field here ⁦Glastonbury Festival⁩ where #teamswasft, ⁦Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance (DSAA)⁩ & ⁦Resuscitation Council UK⁩ are offering the chance to learn CPR for free! Pay them a visit & walk away with life-saving knowledge about how to respond in an emergency.

#ArmedForcesDay is a fantastic opportunity to catch up with former colleagues & to show our appreciation for the military community. Over the last year the #ArmedForces have once again offered their support to South Western Ambulance Service. Today & always, we say thank you to you all. 🇬🇧

Congratulations to #TeamSWASFT member, Joe Cartwright, for winning the 'Our Environment' category of the Fujifilm NHS 75th photography competition!📸 Joe's beautiful photo taken in South Devon shows that no matter what the challenge, we will always do our best to help.💚 #NHS75

As we celebrate #NHS75 I’d like to take this opportunity to thank our people & volunteers, past and present, who have made #TeamSWASFT what we are today. I am proud to work alongside you, & our NHS partners, to deliver dedicated patient care across the south west. #ThankYouNHS

Every day #TeamSWASFT paramedics deliver care to patients with a wide range of illnesses & injuries; their help can mean the difference between life & death. It’s #WhatParamedicsDo. #IPD2023 is an opportunity to say thank you to them & all paramedics around the world.

Many congratulations to you all and it was great to see you earlier. Welcome to the team!

Today is the start of #AirAmbulanceWeek. We are proud to work alongside five air ambulance charities in the #SouthWest, who help us deliver pre-hospital care to the communities we serve. From everyone at #TeamSWASFT, thank you for everything you do! 🚁

I’m acutely aware that life in the ambulance service comes with its challenges, & the impact it can have on mental health. If you are struggling, please know that you aren’t alone. Reach out & ask for help - it will be there waiting for you. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay

It’s #WorldMentalHealthDay. South Western Ambulance Service is committed to ensuring our people feel comfortable to speak up. They will always be supported by our award-winning Staying Well Service. Please reach out if you need to - you’re not alone and there are people ready to help you.

Today we remember the fallen who courageously gave their lives so we can live ours. We offer our immense gratitude to current & former armed forces personnel, including the veterans I am proud to work alongside South Western Ambulance Service for their service and dedication. #LestWeForget

I’m on Plymouth Hoe today for the city’s Remembrance Service, paying my respect & remembering those who courageously gave their lives. At the going down of the sun & in the morning, we will remember them. #LestWeForget
