In line with the position taken by the Trust I have decided to step away from ‘X’/Twitter for a while. It was a place to communicate now it’s a place for negativity and extreme views. Follow the Yorkshire Ambulance Service on other media for YAS related news.

I’ve just ‘refound’ these in a work drawer from when my family had to isolate from me for 5 weeks during Covid. It made me reflect on how amazing the NHS was during that terrible time when we made sacrifices and lost colleagues. It’s easy to forget as we enter winter.
