Season's greetings from North East Ambulance Service
This year's Christmas card, 'A reindeer pulling an ambulance' was drawn by NEAS health advisor Daryl Richardson's two boys, Fraser aged 5 and Theo aged 3.
As we prepare to bring 2023 to a close, we reflect on an incredibly challenging year for our service and the wider NHS around us.
We want to personally thank colleagues, both within my organisation and the partners who work alongside us, as well as the hundreds of volunteers who support us in providing care for our patients. It has never been a more important time to look after each other.
On behalf of everyone at North East Ambulance Service, we wish you have a Happy Christmas and New Year.
