Ambulance crews in the East of England Ambulance Service are struggling to cope. 

14 or 15 hour shifts are common and one crew recently worked a 20.5 hour shift. 

Crews are entitled to a 45 minute meal break, they routinely only get 30 minutes.

UNISON has been campaigning for over 12 months for supportive changes.

The Ambulance Service is not listening. 

UNISON is campaigning for a 45 minute meal break, an additional 20 minute rest break and measures to ensure crews travelling back to their base station at the end of their shift, who will already incur a late finish, are only asked to attend the highest category of calls, if they’re the nearest vehicle. 

Please sign this epetition and help us send a clear message to the Ambulance trust: value and protect our Ambulance crews.
