Review titled Fantastic Service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Kate - Posted on 20 September 2023
Thank you so much to the two paramedics who came to our house this evening for our 9 month old son. It was just a precautionary visit and he is fine but they were so lovely and professional. They were also fantastic with my 7 year old daughter from the moment they got out the ambulance. I was worried she would be scared for her little brother but they put her at ease straight away and kept her involved to make her feel helpful. They even let her have a quick look at the ambulance afterwards to ensure her first experience with this situation was as positive as possible so that if something ever happened in the future, she wouldn't be scared. They were so good that it was honestly as though they had just popped in for a bit of a chat. My son was very comfortable with them as they did their checks and just thought they were here to play. My only complaint is the football team they both support :) Thank you so much - although I hope I never see you again in a proffesional capacity.

Review titled Exemplary service
Rated 5 stars out of 5

The ambulance arrived within the hour. The two paramedics were superb, friendly, humorous, gentle, knowledgeable and kind. I was taken to hospital and these two people made my experience less frightening. Highly recommend.

Review titled Caring and listening
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Irene Fairhurst - Posted on 28 August 2023
My vulnerable adult son is epileptic, had a seizure I was not with him at that time, ambulance called. Personnel really listened to what I and his sister had to say about what causes them eg overheating, low fluid intake. They were very thorough in checking him over, no physical injuries, taking their time to make sure he was safe to be discharged into my care. Thank you.

Review titled A wonderful team
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 30 August 2023
Although I waited many hours until the crew 236 arrived I was phoned by nurses who checked on my condition. I was stuck upstairs . They managed to get me up and walking a bit. Then they carried my bed downstairs and set me up safely in my living room. Wonderful professional crew who went that extra mile. Ironically we decided they would make more money moving furniture for a living ! A huge thank you from all my family.

Review titled Outstanding Paramedics!
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Mrs S Smith - Posted on 16 August 2023
We called an ambulance for my Mum who had fallen badly and was in excruciating pain and unable to be moved. The paramedics arrived swiftly and were professional, friendly, reassuring and treated her with compassion from arrival at the house until they left her after admitting her to A and E. They were absolutely amazing and we would love to be able to get a thank you to them personally from all the family.

Review titled Dissapointed
Rated 2 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 02 June 2023
Very disappointed for the operator not sending an ambulance for my little girl. With high fever temperature 39.7.., as a single mum, who doesn't drive. with no family or friends to support around.. the operator asked me to get a taxi?, really why r they there for then??...this is an emergency, cos anything could happen..God forbid!..but I'm very disappointed about the awful service for keeping us waiting for hours. And getting anxious and stressful situation..is it because my accent I won't get help like the rest??.. and please stop with excuses cos is too busy.. my child also deserves emergency too.. but obviously nobody cares.. very sad and disappointed about this..

Review titled Our grateful thanks goes to the Ambulance Service and staff
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Helen - Posted on 09 July 2023
The ambulance staff arrived at my 94 year old father's home when he was unconscious and in the recovery position on the floor of the bathroom. They took control of the situation and ensured that my father was cared for in a kind and respectful manner. The ambulance staff listened to the family members as they explained the situation and they answered queries honestly. They fully took into consideration our needs and wishes together with those of our father at all times. We were kept fully updated of our father's condition and great respect was shown when my father slipped away. We pass on our very grateful thanks to the ambulance service staff who were fantastic and so supportive on a very stressful and sad day.
