AN appeal has been launched by West Midlands Ambulance Service for registered paramedics living in the region to rejoin and help treat the increasing number of patients.
The service has already significantly increased its capacity to deal with Covid-19 patients, but wants to go further still.
Ambulance bosses want to hear from any paramedics who retired within the last two years or are working in the private sector to come back into the NHS family.
Some former staff members, who went on a career break to look after children, have also offered to return which the service welcomes.
Trust Chief Executive Anthony Marsh, said: “Over the last couple of years, we know several hundred staff have retired from our service after giving many years of outstanding care to the public.
“We want to boost the number of paramedics we have available as much as possible, so re-employing former paramedics and those who work in the private sector who would like to join us makes sense.”
