A prime-time documentary will show the commitment of our ambulance crews and control room staff on the front-line of emergency care in London and the challenges they face.
'Ambulance' –the BBC’s BAFTA-award winning series - returns to the capital with a new eight-part series broadcast weekly on BBC One from Wednesday (16 September) at 9pm.
In the 52 days cameras were rolling in autumn 2019, our Service took 290,000 emergency 999 calls and attended almost 170,000 incidents including 307 stabbings and shootings. The programme-makers were granted access to tell the real-life stories of patients, staff and volunteers behind the vast numbers at the UK’s busiest ambulance service.
In Wednesday’s opener, viewers see the reality of knife crime in the capital when crews attend several stabbings in the space of a few hours including one where a young man loses his life. By the fourth such assault, ambulance dispatcher Mandy is moved to reflect on the rise of violent crime and movingly reveals the loss of her own son in a stabbing.
The post Award-winning show returns to shine spotlight on heroes of country’s busiest ambulance service appeared first on London Ambulance Service NHS Trust.
