Summary

East Midlands Ambulance Service is set to dramatically expand its workforce with a major new funding boost, aiming to hire 400 new patient-facing staff by 2029—200 by 2026, another 200 by 2027—to slash response times and meet rising demand. Backed by local integrated care boards across Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, and Derbyshire, this strategic push targets critical care improvements after recent setbacks like January’s 19,500-hour handover delays. The goal? Faster, more reliable service and new career opportunities to ensure the region’s ambulance service is fully equipped to handle whatever comes next.
