Press Releases

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.

Last year, our Education Team delivered training to 13,498 people, including NEAS colleagues and more than 8,000 external learners.

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.
