Ambulance staff long service awards
Colleagues from across Lincolnshire celebrated a collective milestone of 800 years’ service to East Midlands Ambulance Service and the wider NHS.
The event recognised staff marking 10, 20, and 30 years of service and the celebration brought together frontline colleagues, support staff, and leaders from across the county with the awards presented by the Lord-Lieutenant of Lincolnshire, Toby Dennis, at Doddington Hall.
Sue Cousland, Divisional Director for Lincolnshire at East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS), said: “These Reward and Recognition events are really important to acknowledge the amount of hard work that happens daily, that we often don’t see because it just keeps happening.
“Not only have we celebrated over 800 years of service, but we’ve also recognised our Support Services staff, including our Resource Management team and the Fleet team, who deserve recognition for keeping the wheels turning in Lincolnshire.”
