About us
Welcome to the home of the East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust.
The Trust was created on July 1, 2006 by merging the three services covering Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Norfolk and Suffolk.
Spread over about 7,500 square miles, our diverse area encompasses tranquil rural retreats, busy seaside resorts and large urban conurbations.
But our varied and modern services are tailor-made for each community’s differing environmental and medical needs, from cycles to fast response cars, frontline ambulances, helicopters and emergency care practitioners.
We attend more than half a million emergency calls a year, and transport nearly three times that amount of patients to and from routine hospital appointments.
Our dedicated staff are our biggest asset, and the ambulance merger – recommended in 2005 by the Bradley Report – will enable them to bring together the very best in clinical practice and advances made by the previous services.
We hope this site will tell you everything you need to know about the ambulance service, whether you want to work with us, join a first response scheme, learn about first aid or use our extensive news and picture libraries.
