Our vision
Ambulance services have changed significantly in the past decade, with big improvements in response times for 999 calls, in training and quality of care, vehicle standards, equipment and technology. Demand for ambulances is also continuing to rise by an extra 250,000 responses a year.
About the Ambulance Service Network

Following the merger of the ASA with the NHS Confederation, the ASN now sits alongside other key networks within the NHS Confederation including the PCT, FT, Mental Health and NHS Partners Network.
