We're now en route to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, external with our first patient of the day.

Our patient has had some pain relief and bloods taken, so they can be sent for analysis on arrival at the hospital to speed up her care.

She's also getting some fluids to make sure she's hydrated.

The ambulance is equipped with a new "multi-monitor". It's a defibrillator which also measures blood pressure and oxygen saturation in the blood, among other things.

I'm out with the East of England Ambulance Service this morning as the BBC spends a day looking at the pressures faced by the ambulance services.

The number of calls received by the service has risen by 30% since 2013.

We're out with the crew Sharon and John. Sharon is a first-year student paramedic who is off to university next year.   

We had an amusing start as we got in the back of the wrong ambulance! 

First call to a 93-year-old lady who has had a fall at a care home in Norwich. She is being taken to the Norfolk and Norwich Hospital. 

The East of England Ambulance service, external covers 7,500 square miles and 17 hospitals. 

The crew we're with are doing a 12-hour shift. It took them just six minutes to get from Longwater to Thorpe Hamlet, in Norwich.

Meanwhile, a Cambridge United spokesman said: "Cambridge United Football Club has received correspondence from Cambridgeshire Police. This follows the recent coverage about historical disclosures of child sexual abuse within football clubs.

"The correspondence indicated that as a result of the publicity some referrals have been shared with Cambridgeshire Police. 

"From what we have been told these date back to the 1990s and earlier.

"Cambridge United will treat any and every allegation of this nature with the utmost seriousness. 

"The club is still awaiting further detail from Cambridgeshire Police and will co-operate fully in any investigation."

We'll bring you more on the police inquiry when we get it.

Yesterday, Cambridgeshire Police confirmed the allegations it had received of historical child abuse involved both Peterborough United and Cambridge United.

Darragh MacAnthony, Peterborough's owner and chairman, said: "If anyone is found guilty of any offences, we hope they will be severely dealt with by those authorities in a quick and timely manner.

"We encourage anybody with any information relating to this matter to come forward so we can help the authorities as best we can going forward.

"Trust me when I say as a father of three young children, I am personally horrified by what is now coming to the forefront in the press recently and will ensure our football club leads by example throughout this process with full transparency and honesty, top to bottom."

The Cambridgeshire Football Association has issued a statement regarding allegations of historical abuse in Cambridgeshire football.

The full statement reads as follows...

"Cambridgeshire FA has been made aware today that Cambridgeshire Police have received a number of referrals as a result of the FA/NSPCC hotline being set up last week. These referrals relate to historical cases only. 

"We would like to reassure the football family in Cambridgeshire that we have been working for number of years to create a safe and positive environment for almost 10,000 young players in the grassroots game. 

"At the heart of this is a Safeguarding Children policy which is published both on our website and in our handbook for all clubs to follow. In addition to that all FA accredited Charter Standard clubs are checked annually and this involves ensuring all qualifications, including criminal records checks, are up to date. This also includes renewal of the FA Safeguarding Children Workshop certificate which is the cornerstone of the education of our workforce with regards to working with children, and is integrated into both coaching and refereeing courses. 

"A further safeguard is that all youth coaches, managers and volunteers must have an accepted Criminal Records Check before the team or club can be affiliated to play in organised football. 

"Football has developed a network of designated persons to ensure that there is a joined up approach to child welfare. All affiliated youth clubs and sanctioned leagues must have a trained Child Welfare Officer, who are supported by a County Welfare Officer. 

"Any reports of on or off field concerns relating to child welfare are investigated and are managed in conjunction with other appropriate agencies including The FA Case Management team, the Police, the NSPCC and local authorities."

Peterborough United has issued only a brief statement regarding allegations of historical abuse at the club, saying it is "awaiting information from Cambridgeshire Police before commenting".

The allegations relate to both Peterborough United and Cambridge United. We've yet to hear any more from the latter.

Cambridgeshire Police says it is unable to say what period of time the "historic allegations" of abuse in football relate to.

What we know so far is the NSPCC has passed "multiple" allegations to police.

The force says both Cambridge United and Peterborough United form part of those allegations.

Cambridgeshire Police is the sixth English police force to receive allegations after a number of professional players waived their right to anonymity to claim they were abused as youngsters.

The NSPCC has issued a statement regarding allegations of historical abuse in football reported to Cambridgeshire Police.

The full statement reads: "There must be no hiding place for sexual abuse in our national game and there may be many others who suffered through such horrors as young players but have never come forward. 

"As last week's revelations have laid bare, people must be able to speak out and get the help they need, and we know that can often be more difficult for men and boys.

"We welcome the FA's commitment to helping those in the game get the help and support they need."
