A key aspect of the ALF is the awards dinner, a really good opportunity to network, socialise and of course, applaud this year’s award winners. Representing ambulance services from across the UK, award winners were selected for delivering outstanding service.
Whether an administrative role, clinical, welfare, managerial support services, these awards recognised the complexity of our organisations and the excellent work that is routinely delivered by so many.
