18 “control room heroes” nominated for awards recognising their lifesaving work

A record number of our control room team have been nominated in awards recognising their life-saving and life-changing work. On Monday we celebrated the 18 members of the team who received a Control Room Award 2019 nomination at a thank you event where they were joined by family and colleagues. Two of the nominees will also be finalists in the categories they were nominated in by their colleagues ahead of the awards ceremony in March. Craig Harman, Head of 999 Service Delivery at London Ambulance Service said: “Staff in our control rooms play a critical role in getting our patients the help they need. I am really pleased that the work they do is being recognised at the second APD Control Room Awards and of course I am proud that so many of our people were nominated.”
