Staff Network
The EMAS LGBT network was set up in 2015 coinciding with the relaunch and formation of the National Ambulance LGBT network as we know it today.
The network is open to all members of staff as well as volunteers and students on placement within the Trust and aims to raise awareness of LGBT issues and provide support and education to the workforce.
Additional Support
EMAS Occupational Health services are provided by HELP Employee Assistance Programme. The contact details are 0800 840 4074 and the service is available 24/7 for free confidential, independent and unbiased information and guidance.
Peer 2 Peer support is available throughout the Trust from any member of staff wearing the P2P badges. Staff can be referred to LGBT P2P staff via the P2P network if required.
