AMBULANCE SERVICE CELEBRATES SUCCESS OF LIVERPOOL STAFF

THE North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust's (NWAS) hidden gems were highlighted at the Trust's Going the Extra Mile (GEM) Awards Ceremony last week. The annual event celebrated Trust staff members who have 'gone that extra mile' for patients, their colleagues and the Service when carrying out their day to day jobs. Chairman's Special Commendations were also awarded.

The ceremony, which took place at Ribby Hall Village in Lancashire on 10 April 2014, was funded by the generosity of sponsors; Virgin Media Business, MIS Emergency Systems Limited, Physio Control, Call Vision Technologies, Dell, Conduit Global and Truck Training UK Limited.

Almost 200 staff members and guests attended the ceremony which was hosted by BBC Radio Lancashire's John Gillmore. This regional event focused on peer nominated awards, special commendations and contributions made by volunteers.

From Liverpool, Frontline Staff Member of the Year Patient Transport Service 2014 was awarded to David Reid from Toxteth. He was nominated by colleagues for "always having a positive outlook and is described by as the epitome of all that is good about our patient transport service; warm, caring and professional."

Student Learner of the Year 2014 was awarded to Frank Mills from South Liverpool. His nominator has described Frank as "having an insatiable hunger for knowledge; his strive for perfection and his incredible work ethic, having all the ingredients for an exceptional paramedic. During his time at university, Frank's world suddenly erupted when, in the first week of his new baby daughter's life, he was faced with the nightmare of having to resuscitate her. He kept his head as he saved her life…"

Bob Williams, Trust Chief Executive said:- "The evening was a great success and I was delighted to present the awards. Some of the actions of our staff are truly heroic and heart-warming and it really is a privilege to be leading an organisation which has so many dedicated and hard-working individuals."
