West Midlands Ambulance Service mistakes caused serious incidents

West Midlands Ambulance Service mistakes caused serious incidents More than half of all serious incidents where patients came to harm involving West Midlands Ambulance Service were due to clinical errors.

A trust audit found choking management, cardiac arrests and inappropriate patient discharges as themes.

It also noted a decision to close all community ambulance stations was taken without first doing a full risk assessment of the impact on safety.

Serious incidents have reduced as a result of action taken since. BBC News
