(as a relative),

The 999 call handler and the ambulance crew who assisted us on Christmas day deserve thanks. The call handler provided such clear and helpful instructions in a calm and supportive manner. The two crew members were excellent also - professional, caring, thorough and compassionate. Thank you.

Also worth noting that the ambulance arrived very promptly.

Dear Col3,

Many thanks for taking the time to share your feedback here on CareOpinion. I am so sorry to read that you required the use of our services on Christmas day and I do hope that you are all feeling better. It is great to hear positive stories about the work our wonderful staff provide.

If you wish I can pass on the feedback to the call handler and crew directly. To do so we would need to know the date, time and address that the Ambulance attended and the patients name. This information can be sent to sas.feedback@nhs.scot for the team to pick up. If you do decide to do this, would you be so kind as to make reference to your CareOpinion username so that the team can easily locate your story and share it with the crew.

I wish you all the very best for 2025 and thanks again.

Kind Regards

Alan
