Dear Anonymous

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are very sorry to hear of this situation and that it was felt our service was not of the level expected.

If you are able to, we would appreciate you sharing your comments with our Patient Experience team, with as much detail as you can (e.g. date, time and location), so that they might identify the attending crew and investigate this matter further for you. You may contact them via our website, www.emas.nhs.uk, or via our voicemail line 0333 012 4216 (where we aim to respond to details left within 3 days – please note this is not a “live line”).

Patient Experience Team, East Midlands Ambulance Service
