Shrewsbury pub couple among ambulance service heroes recognised at awards night

Landlady Angie Roberts and her husband Kev raise thousands of pounds for charity at the Dog and Pheasant in Shrewsbury.

They have hosted various events such as darts, bingo, pizza nights and a King’s Coronation Party, all of which has helped raise almost £2,200 for the scheme. Anthony Marsh, the WMAS NHS Foundation Trust chief executive, said:"We all know the NHS is facing some of the toughest challenges it has ever known, but despite that, we have incredibly dedicated members of staff and volunteers who continue to provide excellent patient care every single day.

"Ambulance staff represent the best of the best and to you all, I say a huge thank you. Thank you for the service you give to our communities every single day, whether in the 999 or Patient Transport Service, and whether you are frontline or someone who works behind the scenes." "We heard about some incredible achievements at the award ceremonies, staff and volunteers going above and beyond to help someone else and it is fantastic to be able to reward them for their commitment.

'Their outstanding planning, coordination and close working relationships with local management ensured inclusive access for all staff members and seamless execution of each event. 'On arrival they saw an elderly lady at the window whom they asked to open the door, but after a couple of minutes that had not happened. Attempting to make contact through the letterbox to check everything was ok, Sam and Christine were alarmed when they heard a call of ‘let go of me’ which was followed by panicked shouts of ‘he’s got a knife’ and ‘he’s been stabbed’.

'With their dad Carl out at work, as an Operational Manager for the ambulance service, Edward showed tremendous courage to call for an ambulance before passing his address using the phonetic alphabet. Edward not only did everything asked of him by the call assessor, he maintained excellent manners throughout, something he could have been forgiven for letting slip in such a stressful situation.
