North East Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (NEAS) has recorded continued improvement in staff experience in the 2025 NHS Staff Survey, with progress seen across all nationally recognised NHS People Promise themes and growing confidence among staff in recommending the service both as a place to work and a place to receive care.

The hard work of North East Ambulance Service (NEAS) colleagues was featured as part of the BBC’s NHS Day on 22 January.

From improving policies and championing inclusion to shaping national conversations, each of North East Ambulance Service’s staff networks delivered a year of exceptional progress, support and innovation in 2025, making a meaningful difference to colleagues across the organisation.

Gathering on one of the rare student‑free days in the calendar, the team reflected on the breadth of work delivered behind the scenes – much of which often goes unseen by the wider workforce.
