Ambulance Guernsey

One ambulance will be stationed at Les Gigands, near Oatlands, another will be based at Les Cotils and the remaining crew will stay at the station in the Rohais.

“Splitting the crews significantly reduces the likelihood of an entire team having to go into isolation if one of them becomes unwell with corona virus symptoms,” said Chief Ambulance Officer, Mark Mapp. 

“Although, at the present time, crews are spending most of their shift on the road, we want to reduce the time whole teams are together in one place.

“I would like to thanks the management of Les Cotils and Les Gigand for their hospitality in accommodating our ambulance crews. I’d also like to acknowledge the flexibility of our staff for adapting to changing circumstances.”

The Guernsey Fire & Rescue Service announced similar measures last week.
