Ambulance is compelling TV, rich with inspirational people and the real life dramas of humanity.
The ambulance staff are exceptional - in the central call centre and out on the road! While working under extreme pressure due to severe funding cuts across the National Health Service, not only are the staff medically competent, they carry out assessments with respect and gentle humour, fostering trust and reassuring their vulnerable patients.
The callers, who are family members, neighbours or bystanders, show the most caring aspect of human nature, touching the viewer deeply.
Interspersed with the callouts, are fascinating glimpses into the life of the staff.
Kudos to the HR department, the trainers, the frontline staff and the people of the North Yorkshire region and the makers of Ambulance! It should be compulsory viewing for those who allocate health funding.
