Something has changed 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

The way the public sees us - Ambulance Crews, the NHS frontline - it isn’t what it used to be.

There was a time when people looked at us with pride. 😊

A time when they knew that, no matter what, if you dialled 999, someone would come - calm, kind, quickly and ready to help.

But somewhere along the way, that light dimmed.

Since the pandemic, it feels like we’ve been forgotten!!!!

The applause faded. The thanks grew quieter. And what’s left are longer shifts, heavier workloads, and the crushing weight of a system that no longer feels built to care for the people inside it.

➡️ Back in 2017, NHS England promised us a better way - new ambulance standards, a future where every patient would get the best response first time.
A system that was efficient, compassionate, and fair.
A workforce that was happy, supported, and proud.

But it’s 2025 now… and none of that feels real anymore.

Across every Ambulance Trust in England, crews are tired - not just physically, but emotionally, spiritually.
The laughter that once filled the cab on the way to a job… it’s quieter now.
The smiles have been replaced by sighs.
And behind every uniform, there’s someone silently wondering how much longer they can keep doing this.

We see colleagues break down in station corridors, cry in their cars after shifts, or sit in silence because there’s simply nothing left to say.
And yet, when things go wrong - when the headlines turn ugly - it’s US who are blamed. NOT the system. Not the policies. Us 😡 the very people holding everything together by sheer will.

At UKAH 🚑 we’re not just worried about the numbers or the targets.
We’re worried about people - OUR people.

About their mental health, their families, their bank accounts, their hearts.
Because no matter your rank or pay band, this struggle doesn’t discriminate.
We’re ALL feeling it.

So now, more than ever, we have to hold onto what really matters - each other.
We call ourselves the Green Family for a reason.

Because when everything else falls apart, when the world forgets us, we still have one another.

Let’s look out for each other.
Let’s check in, listen, lift one another up.
Let’s remind every single person in green that they are seen, they are valued, and they are not alone.

Because if we don’t look after each other… who will?
