Calling 999 doesn’t guarantee you’ll receive an ambulance. We prioritise life-threatening emergencies; if your condition isn’t critical, you may wait or get phone advice. If you’re unsure, use NHS 111 online or call 111 for children under five.

❄️ Winter brings its extra challenges, but we're prepared. 🚑 We've added more resources, reduced response times, and adapted the service to deal with changing demand. 📞But we still need you to look after each other and to use the 999 service wisely. https://t.co/AJiSFZBA3D

It was such a pleasure to welcome Ray to our station in Salford last month so he could meet colleagues and they could hear about his remarkable recovery form a cardiac arrest in August.💚 https://t.co/ZlipcruhZP

90-year-old Ray collapsed on a bowling green in August after a cardiac arrest. Amazingly, he survived. When he was reunited with the Salford ambulance crews that came to his aid, he said it was a moment he won't forget!🚑💚
