Representing ambulance service trusts requires a detailed understanding of the commissioning structure and composition of ambulance service trusts within the healthcare sector. It is just as important to comprehend the legal and public policy principles and statutory framework that underpins the commitments of ambulance services as a Category 1 responder, and their relationship and multi-agency commitments with other blue-light agencies.
