LAS staff dedication

The London Ambulance Service has honoured staff who had recently achieved 20 years' service, those retiring from duty and one
member of staff who went above and beyond the call of duty. Members of frontline and support staff attended the event in Westminster at the end of February for the presentation of their certificates and medals.

Sixteen frontline staff received The Queen's Ambulance Service Long Service and Good Conduct Medal and three support staff received the London Ambulance Service Medallion.

Fourteen retirees from across the Service received glass plaques, bells and a certificate.

Chief Executive Peter Bradley , who presented the awards, said:"All the staff receiving recognition here have shown great dedication and commitment, whether it is in reaching 20 years' Service or the end of their career with us. It is this dedication that makes us the Service we are today and I'm very proud of that."

Tower Hamlets Duty Station Officer Martyn
Tillett was awarded the Chief Ambulance
Officer's Commendation at the ceremony for
his bravery and courage in protecting a member of the public from a violent attack. Chief Executive Peter Bradley said: "Martyn acted bravely and selflessly it makes me very proud to present him this award."
