Press Releases

NEAS has completed a series of significant sustainability milestones that are already improving patient safety, strengthening operational resilience and reducing environmental impact across the region. 

NEAS has marked a milestone year in workforce development, driven by the ambitious and inclusive work of its education team. Their focus on high‑quality training, innovative career pathways and equitable learning has strengthened skills across the organisation and supported the delivery of more personalised care to patients across the North East.

We caught up with our Deputy Chief Executive and Director of People and Development to find out more about her and her role

This month, we asked non-executive director (NED), Carole Panteli, to tell us a little about her role.

Alan, who has been a governor since April 2025, spoke to us about his role.

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

Here's a round-up of our stories from the last few months

Winter is traditionally the busiest time of year for our service. Every year, our communications team delivers a comprehensive and high‑impact winter communications campaign designed to support patient safety, manage seasonal pressures and highlight the work of frontline teams.

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.

With our annual flu season well and truly underway, we thought we would shine a light on the team responsible for keeping us all well at work, our occupational health team.

This month, we asked non-executive director, Alison Slater, to tell us a little about her role.
