New high-tech ambulances operating in Redditch area

Redditch Editorial 10th Dec, 2016   0

WEST Midlands Ambulance Service (WMAS) is rolling out 66 new, more advanced ambulances to aid patient care in Redditch and surrounding areas.

The vehicles are designed to be easy to use, easier to clean and restock and also include CCTV systems to help to protect staff.

The ambulances also come with a key message emblazoned on the rear as part of a joint initiative with NHS England to let patients know that they don’t always need to dial 999 to get urgent care.

WMAS Chief Executive, Anthony Marsh, said: “These new ambulances are some of the most sophisticated emergency vehicles in the world.




“Not only are they packed full of the latest technology to help patients, but they are more comfortable and efficient than ever before, using technology piloted in the aerospace industry.”
