Yorkshire Ambulance Service is trialling a new navigation program in a bid to get to sufferers more quickly. The program incorporates standard map updates with new roads, buildings and residential regions to enable paramedics find addresses and discover the quickest routes. The technologies relies on detailed plans from the Ordnance Survey (OS).

The initiative is element of the Ambulance Radio Programme, primarily based in Barnsley, and was commissioned by the Association of Ambulance Chief Executives and the Division of Wellness and Social Care to increase communication in the ambulance service. More than the previous year, Yorkshire Ambulance Service responded to an typical of three,312 calls a day, dealing with a total of 780,774 emergency incidents, sending autos to the scene or supplying phone guidance.
