Becoming a University Ambulance NHS Trust with CEO Jason Killens

In this conversation, we will examine what is involved with the application and benefits of becoming a University Ambulance NHS Trust. As of the start of April of this year, the Trust is now known as the Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust. The sought-after status has been granted by the Welsh Government in recognition of WAST’s commitment to develop its current and future workforce and to drive research and innovation.

To do this I have Jason Killens with me. Jason is the Chief Executive of the Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust, which is the national provider of 999, 111 and non-emergency patient transport services for Wales. Please enjoy this wide-ranging conversation about the progressive steps of this academic innovation. To read more on this please see here:
