Children learn about lifesaving work of ambulance service
Helen Shepherd works at the NWAS as a senior paramedic and she took over the NWAS instagram page entitled 'A Week In The Life Of...'
Helen is a parent of a student at St Augustine's and as part of her 'Week In The Life Of..' she came into school to talk to the youngest children about what the ambulance service was and how it should be used.

Hide AdShe also got the teachers and the students to spell out 'Team NWAS' themselves to help their understanding.
The children had already had a visit from the ambulance service earlier in the year and learnt about the various roles in the NWAS.
Headteacher Sinead Colbeck said: "Helen wanted to come back and work with the children on something that would capture people’s attention and help raise awareness of the role of the NWAS,"
