CHILDREN and young people have been invited to help shape the future of the ambulance service.

Under its Transforming Patient Care programme, North West Ambulance Service is introducing several new initiatives and schemes, one of which is focused on making the service even better for children.

Children, parents and carers from across the North West are invited to get in touch if they are interested in being part of a group that will give their views, feedback and ideas on how the service can be adapted for children.

Volunteers will be invited to join engagement sessions, which will take place at different locations across the region three or four times a year.

Children aged 5-15 and their parents, guardians or carers are welcome to get involved.

Anyone interested should email their details to paediatrics@nwas.nhs.uk and include their name(s), age of the child, telephone number and address, by May 31.
