Dark green graphic with circles and white box with quotation marks. White text within reads - The operator that answered my call was kind, calm, reassuring, providing excellent guidance till the paramedic and critical care teams arrived. I’m forever grateful to them. Their professional skills & expertise during the very prolonged resuscitation led to my husband’s recovery. We are so fortunate to have access to teams such as these fantastic professionals in the NHS when we most need them.
