Nearly one million young people across the UK are now not in education, employment or training (NEET), with experts warning the country is facing a growing youth employment crisis. In response, the North East Ambulance Service (NEAS) and The King's Trust are working together to help young people across the North East overcome barriers to employment and build rewarding careers in the NHS.

As we work towards launching our new 10-year strategy in October 2026, we wanted to bring the role of strategy, planning and transformation at NEAS to life for colleagues across the NHS, local authorities and emergency services.

People with a learning disability and autistic people across the North East are set to receive more personalised, compassionate and effective care after North East Ambulance Service (NEAS) reached a major milestone in specialist workforce education.

Ambulance, fire and police colleagues have moved into a newly operational carbon-neutral community tri-station in Hebburn.

This month, North East Ambulance Service crews moved into Wallsend Community Fire Station in North Tyneside, alongside Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service (TWFRS) colleagues.

People with minor injuries and illnesses in Teesside can now benefit from a jointly run NHS urgent care service across the Tees Valley.  

We have introduced new processes within our Emergency Operations Centre and for our frontline crews to help us improve our response to patients, and are looking for further support from system partners.

A new model for maximising alternative care pathways in the hope of avoiding unnecessary ambulance attendances and hospital admissions has now been successfully rolled out across the North East.
