Ambulance Service staff and volunteers recognised for outstanding achievements
Ambulance staff and volunteers have been honoured for outstanding service to their patients, communities and each other at an annual awards ceremony.
More than 430 staff and volunteers were nominated across 12 categories with almost 150 shortlisted nominees attending the The East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust (EEAST) awards last night. (September 11)
The event was hosted by EEAST chief executive Neill Moloney. He said: “Every single day, you go above and beyond - whether you’re saving lives, supporting your colleagues, improving how we work, or just making someone’s day that little bit better.
“You are the reason EEAST is what it is – and tonight is about recognising that.”
The event was made possible thanks to the East of England Ambulance Service Charity, the main sponsor of the night. The awards were also sponsored by Chawton Hill, Browne Jacobson, Hill Dickinson, Asset Assured, Pentaco, Fleet Factors, ATS Euromaster and Class Professional Publishing.
