THIS week dedicated workers from North
West Ambulance Service who between them have committed almost 1,500 years to the
Service have been honoured at a ceremony in Chester. A range of Ambulance

They presented accolades to staff reaching milestones of 20, 25, 30, and 35

Lord Lieutenant of Cheshire, David Briggs MBE, attended the ceremony to award
The Queen's Long Service and Good Conduct medal to those who had fulfilled 20
years exemplary frontline duties.
Ambulance staff from Merseyside who were recognised made up over 1000 years in
the service. Speaking about the event, Bob Williams said:- "It has been an
honour to commend all the years of devoted service from our fantastic staff
working behind the scenes in our control centres and support services to those
patient facing roles such as our Paramedics, Emergency Medical Technicians,
Patient Transport Service and Voluntary Car Drivers. Our staff are the heart of
our organisation and they work tirelessly to ensure the public receive the
highest quality of care, often in challenging situations. I'd like to
congratulate them all on their outstanding achievement and thank them for all
their years of dedication to the Service and ultimately to the public we serve." |
