Amazing is how the staff at the region’s ambulance service have been described in a survey.
One patient said that: “I would not be here without their capable hands or speed, they are the best.”
Comments such as ‘completely professional’ and ‘the safest in the country’ have been made in the East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust survey.
Sandy Brown, director of nursing and clinical quality at EEAST said: “It’s enormously beneficial to see respondents informing us on these high levels of quality of care.
“It’s something which is at the forefront of our priorities and which we will continue to work on moving forward.”
Robert Morton, chief executive of EEAST, said: “It is extremely rewarding for myself and staff alike to hear such positive comments about the service people have received.
“These results speak volumes about the constant high levels of professionalism and care all of our staff in the East of England put in on a daily basis.
