With regards on your article on the 12-hour shifts in the ambulance service I totally agree that this should happen.
I worked in Oxford for many years within a related profession and Oxford has some of the best paramedics I have known.
Oxfordshire’s ambulance staff shifts could be shortened as part of plans to ease pressure on paramedics
But, they are exhausted. Of course mistakes will be made and when this is human life that they are responsible for it is inexcusable that these incredible people have to work these inhumane hours.
