The video features staff involved in realistic scenarios as they respond to patients and answer 999 calls in our control room. The scenes demonstrate just how challenging the role of an ambulance worker can be.

Richard Henderson, chief executive at East Midlands Ambulance Service said: “As part of our dedication to supporting staff we work closely with TASC. They provide invaluable support for ambulance staff in their moment of need so we were more than happy to support their charity film.

“Staff from our Hazardous Area Response Team (HART), frontline ambulance crews and control staff took part in the filming and really enjoyed giving their time to support such a worthwhile charity.”
