Our highly skilled staff provide life‑saving care to patients in the community and take people to hospital or a place of care if needed.

Alongside the other emergency services, we also work to ensure the safety of the public and the treatment of patients in the event of a major incident.

We also deliver the NHS 111 service in the North West. NHS 111 replaced NHS Direct in 2013. This service was introduced to make it easier for people to access local NHS healthcare services in England. It provides non‑emergency medical help fast, and is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
