Volunteers are thanked by North East Ambulance Service

The North East Ambulance Service (NEAS) is dedicating this week to thank the volunteers who have stepped up to support it during the Covid-19 pandemic.

National Volunteers' Week takes place from the 1 - 7 June every year, providing a chance to say thank you for the contribution millions of volunteers make across the UK.

‘Bubble screen’ creates additional protection for ambulance volunteers and patients

North East Ambulance Service (NEAS) is introducing plastic screening for its team of volunteer drivers to help keep them and their patients safe amid the Coronavirus pandemic.

More than 150 people volunteer with NEAS as ambulance car service (ACS) drivers, using their own vehicles to help transport patients to and from hospitals and clinics, which keeps ambulances free for emergencies and for patients too ill to travel by car.
