Rebecca Lennox

Emergency Medical Advisor

North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust

Becca joined NWAS in 2023 after having to leave her nursing degree when she became registered blind due to a rare brain condition. She has since supported colleagues as a neurodiversity champion and active member of the women’s and disability networks.

Living with severe endometriosis from the age of 16, she helped introduce and maintain emergency menstruation boxes across NWAS, which inspired her idea to provide reusable period underwear for staff—reducing single‑use plastic, improving comfort and supporting colleagues experiencing incontinence.

Following a hysterectomy at 30, Becca is proud that a small act of kindness has grown into a significant sustainability initiative. She hopes the project will inspire other ambulance services to explore similar approaches.
