Huge well done to ten year old Lillie from Dukinfield who has won our Easter egg decorating competition! We loved her design which is also a handy reminder of the importance of learning CPR.

From all of us here at North West Ambulance Service – Happy Easter! 🐣

It’s not only our emergency and 111 teams who are working hard this weekend - patient transport service colleagues like Emily are here for you this Easter too! 🐣

Emily has a message reminding those who use the service to let us know if you no longer need us.

Happy Easter!
