In this edition, Paramedic Mark shares his journey of starting his paramedic degree at 61 – it was one which took strength, determination and sacrifice.

We also introduce you to Emergency Medical Advisor Becca Lennox. A few years ago, Becca developed a rare brain condition that sadly resulted in her being registered blind. Becca raises awareness of sight loss and explains that it is untrue that registered blind people can’t see anything at all.

Before Rachael dAuriol’s son Declan was born, the NHS 111 health advisor did not know much about autism. But fast forward four years, and we speak to her about how she is now an advocate for autism awareness. She is driven by the hope that future generations won’t encounter the same challenges in understanding and acceptance and have the support in place to thrive.

The past four and a half years have been tough for Paramedic Heather Berry. Heather has had a liver transplant and shares her story to encourage people to think about organ donation.

We also have a useful A-Z guide for using our 999 service,  we introduce you to the people behind our driving school and FOI handling.

Each week we will share a story from the magazine on our Facebook, X and Instagram pages too so don’t forget to give us a follow if you’re interested.

We keep a library of past editions of Your Call online so you can look back to them at any time.
