Today's Armed Forces Day 2023. We want to say a big THANK YOU to all service personal. Here at WMAS we are very proud of our ex-services and reservists 💚 and a big shout out to all the families that spend so much time away from their loved ones, so they can look after us 🇬🇧👏

🚨 Due to current technical fault that is impacting a number of emergency services, many 999 calls are not connecting. ☎️ Please dial 111 in an emergency until further notice. 💚 You can use NHS 111 Online to check for non-emergency medical concerns.

Thanks to Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service and West Midlands Fire Service for letting us exercise with you. HART paramedics are trained to access and treat patients anywhere, including when we need to climb to access. Once treated, we work with our emergency service colleagues to get them to safety.

WMAS HART deployed to assist with this incident, and are very proud of the team that dropped everything with 3 hours notice to deploy.

Happy International Paramedics Day…. Hazardous Area Response Team… a career pathway like no other… #InternationalParamedicsDay #WhatParamedicsDo

#DidYouKnow about our Hazardous Area Response Team (HART), which comprises of specialist paramedics who are able to operate in challenging situations. HART have access to specialist resources to access patients within difficult terrain, including the Polaris vehicle 👉 🚑

Some of our vehicles are bigger than your average ambulance, and you might see a few of our vehicles at once. Please make sure you give us (or any 999 vehicle) some space and time if you see us.

No, this isn't a funny looking 🚑 It's actually our Polaris 6x6 vehicle, used by HART (Hazardous Area Response Team) to navigate tricky terrain in the West Midlands, allowing us to get to our patients, wherever they are!👏 #teamWMAS

The heatwave didn't stop some of the HART and Dudley hub staff absolutely smashing the 3 Peaks Challenge last week! 😮⛰ They completed the challenge within 24 hours to fundraise for #ANDYSMANCLUB and in memory of paramedic Andy Watson who, sadly, passed away in May. 💚
