North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust is applying to become an NHS Foundation Trust and they would like as many people as possible across the North West to join their membership and help to shape the future of the service.
Foundation Trusts will give members of the public ‘a voice’, which can influence change and help ensure that the service continues to meet the needs of all the members of their communities.
NWAS is the largest ambulance service in the UK covering the area from Carlisle to Crewe and encompassing five counties which contain major cities and towns, rural communities, commercial hubs and world renowned tourist destinations. Therefore it is imperative that the membership represents the population on all levels.
Membership of the NWAS NHS FT is free; you have to be over 16, a resident in the North West and you can be a member of more than one FT.
As a member you, your families and your friends, can become as involved as much or as little as you choose, from raising awareness of the ambulance service, becoming a volunteer through to representing communities and standing for governance, the choice is yours.
