So much time goes into the charity behind the scenes.

Committee meetings, clinical governance meetings, vehicle maintenance, fundraising and being 'on call' are just a few.

All team members play a pivotal role in keeping the team functioning. https://twitter.com/oggie272/status/1524279763656921088

A day of 'admin' for me today, so I've booked on and am available to support @NWAmbulance as required.

Actually fixed a thing on the #Freelander2 in the same week that it broke!
