“In addition to the introduction of the Major Trauma Network in April, WMAS has been awarded NHS Ambulance Service of the Year 2012 for the sixth successive year. This is a fantastic achievement and all credit must go to the hardworking, dedicated staff at WMAS who are providing a truly life-saving service.”
