Introduction to North East Ambulance Service website

This website has been designed to share information with you about all of the services we provide, our careers and employment opportunities, how our organisation is performing, how you can get involved with our service and importantly how you can feed back to us about your experiences.

This means you should be able to:

  • Change colours, contrast levels and fonts
  • Zoom in up to 400% without the text spilling off the screen
  • Navigate most of the website using just a keyboard
  • Navigate most of the website using speech recognition software
