The NHS announced this morning (Wednesday 2 June) that ambulance crews in England will be given body-worn cameras to try to reduce attacks on frontline medics.
This follows ongoing trials which have seen London Ambulance Service crews trial wearing the cameras, as well as trials in the North East of England.
The NHS will now roll out the cameras to crews in the 10 ambulance trusts across the country.
Medics can press a button to start recording if patients or members of the public become aggressive or abusive.
