Ambulance service sets up emergency care unit for Northampton's New Year revelers

Ambulance service sets up emergency care unit for Northampton's New Year revelers An emergency care centre will be stationed in Northampton town centre on New Year's Eve to take pressure off ambulances. It comes after the East Midlands Ambulance service received over 1,000 calls in the first six hours of 2017.

And while the service says many revellers will always "overdo it", a third of all calls did not need further treatment in hospital.

They are now asking Northampton people to start 2018 safe and well and use the stationed Dedicated Emergency Care Centre (DECC) unit in the town centre. Northampton Chronicle and Echo
