Mental Health Awareness Week – ambulance staff share their stories

To mark Mental Health Awareness Week (18-24 May 2020), the Association of Ambulance Chief Executives (AACE) with the support of UK ambulance services - including London Ambulance Service - has released a video of ambulance staff discussing their experiences with their mental health. The film - produced before the coronavirus pandemic and before social distancing - involves members of staff from ambulance services across the country: Izzy, Amanda, Ricky and London Ambulance Service call handler Scott, speaking honestly and openly about their experiences. Scott, an Emergency Call Handler from the London Ambulance Service control room team, discusses living with bipolar disorder, his experiences working in our Service with the condition and the support he has received from managers and colleagues. The post Mental Health Awareness Week – ambulance staff share their stories appeared first on London Ambulance Service NHS Trust.
