Review titled Exemplary Care and Attention
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Roy - Posted on 11 March 2024
Following my husband's heart failure when he collapsed in The Market Place at Chesterfield, the ambulance arrived so swiftly and performed immediate resuscitation which enabled my husband to be taken to Calow Hospital where he was in the Intensive Therapy Unit for 2 weeks, in the Cardiology Department for 2 weeks and then transferred to Northern General Hospital where he was fitted with an ICD. We will be eternally grateful for the action of the paramedics at the scene. Sincere thanks because without this action my husband would not be at home on the way to what we hope will be a full recovery.

Review titled Professional and compassionate
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 22 February 2024
I called emergency services just before midnight on 24 January as I had woken to find my husband unresponsive. I was told what to do whilst awaiting an ambulance in an authoritative but kindly way. The ambulance and other paramedics arrived within 15 minutes and worked professionally on my husband whilst I was supported elsewhere in the house. Sadly they could not save him but I know he received the best chance. They ensured my family were informed and came to be with me and they remained for some time to ensure everything was left in good order. I am grateful to have had so much help so quickly but sadly there was absolutely nothing they could do to save his life. Thank you for being there.

Took two days to transfer me from kings mill to Newark hospital then caused me to miss an mri scan that had been waited for for a year by not turning up. Now been waiting 1.5 days for transport home. Really poor and stressful.

Review titled Outstanding care
by DebsW15 - Posted on 27 October 2023
Having suffered another bad asthma attack called 999 and the ambulance service was with me within minutes and quickly taken into resus. Absolutely outstanding, I just can't thank them enough for their care, they were able to avoid me going to ICU eventually, moved onto ATC to monitor me and every single one of them are angels and I will again be forever grateful after 11 days in Bassetlaw Hospital.

Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Melanie Martin - Posted on 22 September 2023
The crew came out to me in the early hours. I had passed out and sustained a couple of injuries. They were very caring and professional, checking my blood pressure etc / talking me through things as they proceeded to do their job. I just wanted to say thank you so much for helping me, I was extremely great full for your assistance. You’re all doing a great job.

The ambulance turned up unexpectedly (I hadn't called them). I only found out after they has gone why they had been called. Thank you for taking the time to check on my welfare - I feel somewhat guilty as you could have been helping someone else. I feel sure the two officers that attended would have offered me extra help and support had it been needed at the time they called.
