The BAFTA award-winning Ambulance returns with a powerful new series following Yorkshire Ambulance Service, capturing the relentless pressures of paramedics across England’s largest county. Against record demand on the NHS, the series uncovers extraordinary stories of humanity, resilience, and courage on the frontline of emergency care.

Filmed over winter and spring 2025, viewers are taken inside the intensity of control rooms where call handlers and dispatchers make split-second life-or-death decisions, while crews race to emergencies across bustling cities, remote villages, and coastal towns. The series paints a 360-degree portrait of Yorkshire Ambulance Service, covering nearly 6,000 square miles and serving over 5 million people.

From patients left waiting in crowded hospital corridors to paramedics bridging gaps in social care and mental health services, Ambulance reveals the reality of a system under strain. Amid heartbreak and crisis, it is also a reminder of compassion, courage, and the humanity behind every siren.
