'The staff who helped my sick daughter inspired me to become a paramedic'
Natalie Greaves, a West Midlands Ambulance Service paramedic, was mid-shift when she received a call that her 16-year-old daughter, Jessica, who has cerebral palsy and cannot walk, talk or feed herself, needed emergency care. Instead of rushing to the scene in her own ambulance, she allowed another team, who was closer to her daughter, to rush to her aid - scenes which played out in an episode of the latest series of the BAFTA nominated, Ambulance.
What’s more, Natalie decided to train as a paramedic five years ago after being inspired by the medical support she received for Jess when she was younger and close to death.
Natalie Greaves talks about her story, alongside her paramedic co-worker (and best friend) Natalie Calow, who work brilliant but tough jobs saving peoples' lives.
