OVER the last few weeks
St John Ambulance (SJA) have been saves lives overt the
Coronavirus pandemic. They
have been deploying teams of volunteers to UK Hospital Emergency
Departments and the charity's Ambulances and highly trained
crews are being put at the health service's disposal. As
England's Auxiliary Ambulance Service, St John Ambulance has
been helping the NHS by transporting patients and are currently
responding to 999 calls, supporting the NHS Ambulance crews.
Plus many of the volunteers are also working in the UK's
Nightingale Hospitals and supporting the NHS in other ways.

A SJA crew member working out
of from Liverpool, on the COVID19 support for NWAS, Ian Gaynor
(pictured above) who is from the Isle of Man, has sent us this
poem that he has written, over his rest time, between deployments:-
"Am working away in Liverpool today,
4 days on and 4 days away,
12 hours shifts is what we do,
Out on the Ambulance, keeping everyone safe too.
The NHS is who we assist.
Picking up patients so they are not missed.
Our St. John family are working to please.
Helping where we can to put the NHS at ease.
The flow of patients is constant and long.
We try to cheer them as we go along.
It is hard work for us at the front but the sisters and nurses
are bearing the brunt.
I see tired and weary faces all round,
But never a moan or anyone being down.
We all appreciate the public decry...
The waves and the cheers as the Ambulances pass by.
We hope in the future this thing goes away.
To leave us once and for all we pray.
We look to the future and positive too.
When things get better for all of you.
But when it's over and things are done.
Remember the people and all at St John."
Please support the vital work
St John Ambulance are doing now and every day of the year.
"We are working closely with NHS England and the National
Ambulance Strategic Advisor on how we can support the health
