Two new ambulances will be in use across Blackpool and the Fylde coast this winter
More than 200 additional hours of ambulance cover will be available this winter on the Fylde coast – meaning more of the sickest patients can receive an emergency response. The extra cover is thanks to two new ambulances which will provide 168 hours of cover per week, plus changes in working patterns adding an extra 42 hours of cover.
“We have also recruited additional clinicians for our control centre to allow us to manage more patients over the telephone when their clinical needs can be met without deploying an ambulance for a face-to-face assessment.” Fleetwood, Lytham, Thornton and Wesham ambulance stations are all being closed with crews based at alternative ‘spoke’ sites instead. The report adds: “One of the key features is the ‘make ready’ facility, which ensures that ambulances are deep cleaned, maintenance checked, fully stocked with equipment and medicines and are ready go operational to respond to patients without a clinician having to undertake these checks first.
What is happening to the other ambulance stations? Thornton – It is proposed to lease a newly built unit on Bristol Avenue in Bispham. This will be a combined Thornton and Bispham site. It is hoped it will be ready for use by early December.
