Awarded Accredited Centre of Excellence accolade
The Island's Emergency Services Joint Control Room has received a prestigious award for its outstanding work in emergency medical dispatching.
It's been named an Accredited Centre of Excellence - joining only 339 centres worldwide to receive the award from the International Academies of Emergency Dispatch.
The IAED sets the global standards for emergency dispatch and describes ACE centres as ‘the best in the business’.
It's the culmination of more than 10 years’ work to improve the quality of the service provided by the centre.
Greg Norton is the operations manager:
Christof Chwojka, the Accreditation Board Chair at IAED, said: “Accreditation is truly a pinnacle achievement.
"We applaud the dedicated call takers, dispatchers, and leadership team for their commitment to quality and for meeting that high standard that few achieve.
"We know their community can count on these first responders to do an outstanding job.”
