Do you know what to say if you need to make a 999 call? Ever wondered what happens behind-the-scenes of an emergency call? How do ambulance services make the difficult decisions involved in dispatching a critical care team?

Join us on campus for this exciting event to find out more about what happens Behind-the-Siren, where you can chat with uniformed healthcare professionals, join us for lunch and explore a real ambulance!
