Ambulance TV show returns for a tenth series

999: On The Front Line follows crews from Staffordshire as they save lives and help people in their hour of need

A new series of “999: On The Front Line” is due to start on Tuesday, featuring ambulance crews from West Midlands Ambulance Service (WMAS).

The programme is returning for a tenth series, and will air from 20:00 GMT on Channel 4.

A spokesperson for the service said the public will get to see just what staff face as they save lives and help people in their hour of need.

The series will air over the next five weeks and follows eight crews from Stoke-on-Trent, Stafford and Willenhall.

WMAS director of performance and improvement, Nathan Hudson said: "What you will see if you watch is the huge range of cases that our staff respond to.

“It’s not all about big crashes and trauma; they also have to look at complex medical cases, mental health and social care issues.

“When our crews start their shift, they literally have no idea what the day will bring – it’s one of the reasons they like the job so much; the variety of work.

“It’s a great way of showing the public just what a brilliant job our staff do every day.”

Mr Hudson added: “Our ambulance crews work incredibly hard saving lives and showing compassion as they provide patients with the best care possible right across the West Midlands.”
