Incidents

The Press Office works with the local and national media to provide information about incidents across the region and to also publicise the good work undertaken by staff at NWAS.

Information provided will comply with patient confidentiality rules, as is common with all NHS organisations. This means the following can be provided:

  • Time of incident
  • General location 
  • Basic injury details
  • Staff and resources sent to the scene
  • Receiving hospitals

We are unable to provide patient names, addresses, any other information which may lead to the identification of the patient and condition checks for patients admitted to hospital.
