We can't give medical advice on social media. In an emergency dial 999. Non-emergency dial 111 West Midlands Ambulance Service University NHS Foundation Trust (WMAS) covers a geographical area of approximately 5,000 square miles and serves a population of over 5.5 million people living in Shropshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Coventry & Warwickshire, Staffordshire and the Birmingham & the Black Country conurbation. As the region’s emergency ambulance service, we respond to around 4,000 ‘999’ calls each day. To manage that level of demand, we employ approximately 6,000 staff and operate from 15 fleet preparation hubs across the region. In addition, the Trust runs the NHS 111 service in the West Midlands (except Staffordshire) and answers in excess of 20,000 calls every week. We also provide non-emergency patient transport services across some parts of the region for those patients who require non-emergency transport to and from hospital and who are unable to travel unaided because of their medical condition or clinical need. We complete approximately 1,000,000 non-emergency patient journeys each year.

Being ghostly is fine. Being invisible to drivers isn’t.

Heading out trick or treating this Halloween? Here’s some top tips from the am-boo-lance service to ensure the only scares you have are pretend:

👻 Make sure you’re seen by drivers after dark with a torch and bright or reflective clothes.
👻 Young ghosts should be accompanied by a responsible ghoul.
👻 Keep costumes away from naked flames and witches cauldrons.
👻 Remember, some treats can pose a choking hazard to young monsters.

Happy Halloween!
