About Us

The North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust is the largest ambulance service in the country, providing 24 hour, 365 days a year accident and emergency services to those in need of emergency medical treatment and transport. 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.

We also provide non-emergency patient transport services for those patients who require non-emergency transport to and from hospital and who are unable to travel unaided because of their medical condition or clinical need. Alongside the other emergency services, we also work to ensure the safety of the public and treatment of patients in the event of a major incident. We also play an important role in advising patients and the public about staying safe and healthy.

We work in partnership with other services and volunteers to provide urgent and emergency care across the whole of the North West.
