The West Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust (WMAS) is the second-largest ambulance service in the UK. It is the authority responsible for providing NHS ambulance services in Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, West Midlands and Worcestershire. The trust won the contract for non-emergency patient transport services in Cheshire, Warrington and Wirral previously provided by the North West Ambulance Service in 2015. It will transfer in July 2016.
It is one of 10 Ambulance Trusts providing England with Emergency medical services, and is part of the National Health Service. There is no charge to patients for use of the service
WMAS is one of the highest performing ambulance services in England and was one of only two to exceed all of its national performance targets in 2006-07. WMAS employs around 4,500 staff and is supported by about 1,000 volunteers, over 63 sites, and makes over 450,000 emergency responses every year.
The trust was formed on 1 July 2006, following the merger of the Hereford & Worcester Ambulance Service NHS Trust, Coventry & Warwickshire Ambulance NHS Trust, and WMAS and Shropshire services.
West Midlands may refer to:
West Midlands is a constituency of the European Parliament. It is represented by seven MEPs using the d'Hondt method of party-list proportional representation. In 2009, the constituency had been reduced to six seats, but also elected a "virtual MEP" who took her seat in the Parliament when the Treaty of Lisbon came into effect. The constituency was also previously represented by seven MEPs prior to the 2009 election.
The constituency corresponds to the West Midlands region of England, comprising the ceremonial counties of Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire, West Midlands and Worcestershire.
It was formed as a result of the European Parliamentary Elections Act 1999, replacing a number of single-member constituencies. These were Birmingham East, Birmingham West, Coventry and North Warwickshire, Herefordshire and Shropshire, Worcestershire and South Warwickshire, and parts of Peak District, Staffordshire East and Derby, and Staffordshire West and Congleton.
The West Midlands is one of nine official regions of England at the first level of NUTS for statistical purposes. It covers the western half of the area traditionally known as the Midlands. It contains the second most populous British city, Birmingham, and the larger West Midlands conurbation, which includes the city of Wolverhampton and large towns of Dudley, Solihull, Walsall and West Bromwich. The city of Coventry is also located within the West Midlands county, but is separated from the conurbation to the west by several miles of green belt.
The region is geographically diverse, from the urban central areas of the conurbation to the rural western counties of Shropshire and Herefordshire which border Wales. The longest river in the UK, the River Severn, traverses the region southeastwards, flowing through the county towns of Shrewsbury and Worcester, and the Ironbridge Gorge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. Staffordshire is home to the industrialised Potteries conurbation, including the city of Stoke-on-Trent, and the Staffordshire Moorlands area, which borders the southeastern Peak District National Park near Leek. The region also encompasses five Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty, the Wye Valley, Shropshire hills, Cannock Chase, Malvern Hills, and parts of the Cotswolds. Warwickshire is home to the town of Stratford upon Avon, the birthplace of the writer William Shakespeare. The West Midlands and Greater London are the only regions of England and of the United Kingdom which are landlocked.
Emergency medical services also known as Ambulance services or Paramedic Services (abbreviated to the initialism EMS,EMAS,EMARS or SAMU in some countries) are a type of emergency service dedicated to providing out-of-hospital acute medical care, transport to definitive care, and other medical transport to patients with illnesses and injuries which prevent the patient from transporting themselves. Emergency medical services may also be locally known as a paramedic service, a first aid squad, emergency squad,rescue squad, ambulance squad, ambulance service, ambulance corps, or life squad.
The goal of most emergency medical services is to either provide treatment to those in need of urgent medical care, with the goal of satisfactorily treating the presenting conditions, or arranging for timely removal of the patient to the next point of definitive care. This is most likely an emergency department at a hospital. The term emergency medical service evolved to reflect a change from a simple system of ambulances providing only transport, to a system in which preliminary medical care is given on scene and during transport. In some developing regions, the term is not used, or may be used inaccurately, since the service in question does not provide treatment to the patients, but only the provision of transport to the point of care.
In this video, we take a close look around the High Street in Lye and some of the surrounding neighbourhoods. For some background, Lye is a region within the Metropolitan Borough of Dudley in the West Midlands, black country, and near Birmingham, UK. Historically recognized for its metalworking and nail-making industries, the area, like many parts of the West Midlands, has pockets of socio-economic challenges. These manifest as high unemployment, low-income households, limited access to essential services, and some serious crime and anti-social problems. In terms of public order, something that makes Lye special is the Public Space Protection Order (PSPO) that Dudley Council has issued. This PSPO states that anyone caught using drugs, drinking, partaking in anti-social behavior, and e...
In this video, we took a walk around some of the worst areas in live in Dudley, a market town in the Black Country, West Midlands. Dudley, nestled in the heart of England's Black Country, once flourished with the energy and profits of the Industrial Revolution. However, since the decline of industrial manufacturing in the late 20th century, Dudley has faced significant challenges. With the fading of coal mines and traditional industries, the town has grappled with rising unemployment and economic stagnation. You can see the effects today in some of the areas we covered, it’s a real eye opener if you’re not from anywhere near the area. Seeing the crime statistics and deprivation reports is also eye-opening, and provokes some interesting questions that the local councils should be facin...

This is the incredible moment our officers tackled an e-bike rider as he raced away from them – before finding a loaded gun in his backpack. Neighbourhood officers had spotted the masked rider acting suspiciously on the Soho Road and approached him. He rode away, but officers from our Guardian taskforce – which is dedicated to tackling serious youth violence – were alerted and PC Matthew More tackled the rider, who fell to the ground and was detained. New video released today shows the moment PC More found the gun, loaded with three rounds of ammunition, in his backpack. Antonio Balu, aged 25, was arrested and went on to plead guilty to possession of a firearm and possession of ammunition after his arrest, which happened on August 13. Balu, of Bryant Street, Birmingham was jailed for ...
A gang of professional burglars which raided businesses around the West Midlands in a £2.6m crime spree has been dismantled by our detectives. The five-strong gang, from Wolverhampton, would spend hours at sites as they stole metal and other goods using heavy-duty plant and machinery belonging to the business targeted. They would steal vehicles from the firms, and use others on cloned plates, to take the material back to their base at an industrial unit on Watery Lane, Wolverhampton, and are believed to have sold on the metal to unscrupulous scrap dealers.

“I’m going to die. Tell my mom I love her.” These were the dying words of 21-year-old Bailey Atkinson to a police officer as he lay in Walsall town centre having been brutally attacked with blades and machetes in January last year. In spite of open-heart surgery at the scene, Bailey died from multiple stabs wounds to his back, arms and legs. Bailey had moved to Walsall from Coventry two years previously to escape a gang life style, but sadly became embroiled in Walsall’s own warring groups. On the evening of 27 January, Bailey was out with a female friend. A taxi dropped them in Walsall town centre and they were walking past the market stalls when a car swerved towards them. Bailey told his friend to “run” as he also ran along the High Street. There were two cars in convoy, a Toyota...

Dr Alan Renwick, the Unit's Deputy Director, and Professor Robert Hazell, its founding Director gave expert evidence to the House of Commons public bill committee that is examining the Parliamentary Constituencies Bill on 23 June 2020. To ensure that the Boundary Commissions remain independent and impartial, Dr Renwick and Professor Hazell recommended that the bill be amended in order to provide new safeguards. They emphasised four key points: 1. the Commissioners should be appointed for a single, non-renewable eight-year term 2. they should be subject to requirements of political neutrality 3. the deputy chair of each Commission (a High Court judge) should sit on the appointments panel for other Commissioners 4. the appointing minister should be required to appoint only from the names ...
The COVID-19 crisis presents the EU with dramatic and unprecedented risks, not only for the health of Europeans, but also for the European economy, and the economic and social well-being of EU citizens. In this timely event, Mairead McGuinness MEP discusses the role of the European Parliament in the EU’s response to the crisis, and the part it plays in laying the foundations for the EU’s long-term recovery. This event is co-organised with the European Parliament Information Office in Ireland. About the Speaker: Mairead McGuinness is First Vice-President of the European Parliament and represents the Midlands-North-West constituency of Ireland. Ms McGuinness was first elected to the Parliament in 2004. In her role as First Vice-President, Ms McGuinness oversees relations with national parl...
Sinn Féin EU Election Candidate for the Midlands North West Constituency Matt Carthy said during his speech at the Sinn Féin Ard Fheis in Wexford "Irish governments for too long have been weak, ineffective and corrupt".
On the eve of the next European elections, Ms McGuinness explores how the new political composition of the Parliament might affect its ability to function as an effective legislator. She examines whether the European Parliament will be able to work more effectively with national parliaments, or whether the desire of some to ‘take back control’ will slow important legislative work. Q&A begins at 35:53 Filmed on the 26th of April 2019

Paris is under siege. And this time, it's the farmers. But why? After weeks of tractors on the straße in Germany, France are hit by similar trouble. It's causing great consternation for an increasingly weak French president Emmanuel Macron. So today we ask, is Macron losing control of France as the far-right rises in Europe? And how big of a problem is this for the EU in Brussels? Later, we talk to the Conservative mayor of West Midlands, Andy Street. #paris #protest #news #uk #eu #politics #NewsAgents #EmilyMaitlis #JonSopel #LewisGoodall Download The News Agents with Emily Maitlis, Jon Sopel and Lewis Goodall from 5PM every weekday on Global Player: https://www.globalplayer.com/podcasts/42KuVj/ Emily Maitlis, Jon Sopel and Lewis Goodall – three of the UK’s top journalists – host ...
