THE NHS came to the rescue of so many during the Covid pandemic — everyone clapped to show appreciation. One group of workers applauded, little-known to the public, were the Ambulance Care Assistants (ACA).

The challenge of the work involved was illustrated in actor, writer and ACA Marissa Landy’s excellent play, Non-Emergency.
