Waiving her anonymity: the paramedic sexually assaulted

A Norfolk paramedic has waivered her right to anonymity in order to speak out after she was sexually assaulted by a patient.

Heidi, who works for the East of England Ambulance Trust in Norfolk, has chosen to speak out as the number of attacks on ambulance staff continues to rise.

In the last year there were 232 reports of assaults on frontline ambulance staff. That's up from 195 the year before, an increase of 19%.
