AMBULANCE, the popular TV series about paramedics is set to return.

The eight-part observational documentary will be shown on primetime BBC One from 9pm on Thursday, April 26.

It is the second series to feature West Midlands Ambulance Service.  

The programme follows the staff as they deal with everything from major trauma including road traffic collisions and stabbings, acutely unwell babies, through to patients with complex medical conditions and a 999 call from someone who wants to commit suicide.

Each episode follows the call-handlers and ambulance dispatchers in the region's two control-rooms along with the ambulance crews out on the ground as they respond to nearly 4,000 emergency 999 calls every single day. 

WMAS chief executive, Anthony Marsh, said: “I am proud that we have been able to show the diverse nature of our workforce and how we interact with people from every area and community of the West Midlands.

"Sometimes it isn’t easy viewing but throughout, the actions of our staff are exceptional and I am so very proud of them.”
