Channel 202 project shortlisted for award

The Channel 202 project, which has promoted the various critical care resources available to frontline staff to help with seriously ill patients, has been shortlisted for a national air ambulance award of excellence.

The project has been chosen as one of three finalists for the air ambulance campaign of the year and is a joint effort between the Trust and the Essex and Herts Air Ambulance Trust, East Anglian Air Ambulance, Magpas and BASICS.

The project was kicked off in July with a message from actor Ray Winstone and materials have been delivered to stations, including a booklet for staff to ‘think Channel 202’.

Assistant Chief Ambulance Officer for Resilience and Specialist Operations, Steve Wheaton, said: “It is a great achievement to have been shortlisted for this award and I’d like to thank everyone involved for their efforts. The message behind the campaign is really important; there is a wealth of experience and expertise on standby waiting to help with patients who really need it.”

The winner will be announced at an awards ceremony on 17^th November in London.
