Yorkshire Ambulance Service (YAS) has confirmed that two emergency ambulance medics have died over two days. 

Both had served with YAS for a considerable amount of time, saving countless lives in their respective communities. They were both well-liked and highly respected members of YAS.

The Advanced Emergency Medical Technician from North Yorkshire & Specialist Paramedic from West Yorkshire died on Tuesday 28th April and Thursday 30th April respectively. 

They both passed away in hospital, surrounded by their NHS colleagues. The families of the two medics have asked that they are not named. 

Rod Barnes, Chief Executive of Yorkshire Ambulance Service, said:

“Both colleagues had worked tirelessly for many years serving their local communities, and were married with families.

“On behalf of everyone at YAS, we would like to offer our deepest sympathies to their families.  

“We know that many people within the Trust are affected by this very tragic news and we are supporting our staff at this very difficult time.

“We ask that the wishes of the families for privacy are respected”.

Emergency Services News has set up a memorial group on Facebook, dedicated to the NHS staff who have lost their lives to COVID-19. 

The group is a place where colleagues of those who have died can share memories of the truly remarkable healthcare professionals who have died while trying to save as many lives as possible.

Before you go...

We need your help. As former emergency services & armed forces personnel, we pride ourselves on bringing you important, fast-moving and breaking news stories which are free from the negative bias which is often directed at the emergency services by some sections of the mainstream media.

One of the reasons we started 'Emergency Services News' was because we became tired of reading badly informed stories about the emergency services which seemed only ever to highlight negative aspects of the job.

We want to be the unheard voice of the remarkable men and women who serve in the emergency services, NHS and armed forces. And with around 500k page views each month, we are getting there!

As income from ads, the mainstay source of income for most publishers, continues to decline; we need the help of our readers.

And remember, if you have a service, product or job vacancy that you would like to promote to our large readership, then you can buy advertising space in our articles.

You can support emergency services news from as little as £1. It only takes a minute. Every contribution, however big or small, is vital for our future.

Please help us to continue to highlight the life-saving work of the emergency services, NHS and armed forces by becoming a supporter.
