Pressure across the NHS from high numbers of flu/COVID cases has led to delays at emergency departments affecting our ability to respond. Thank you to our fab #TeamWAST staff/volunteers for all that you are doing in challenging times. Sorry to patients who’ve had to wait as a result of the pressure.

Please think before ringing do you really need an ambulance. Can you get yourself to hospital if you need to, please help us help you.

That’s me logged off SR4001 for the rest of the Christmas period for Welsh ambulance service. Everyone in the emergency services and healthcare working the rest of the festive period have an enjoyable and safe time and il have a glass of bubbly in your honour 🍾

Some Sunday morning TLC for the car, nothing wrong with having some pride in your work space and this is my office. See what the rest of the day brings for #CHARUlife #TEAMWAST
