Tammy joined Yorkshire Air Ambulance in 2022. After completing a three-year BSC Paramedic Science degree in London and qualifying in 2016,  Tammy initially worked out of Deptford, before coming back up to Yorkshire where she was based at Wakefield before joining YAA.

Comparing London to Yorkshire, Tammy said: “Working on the land ambulance you have a lot more trauma such as RTCs and stabbings in London and the trauma is quite invasive. It’s a lot more rural up here. Being exposed to that level of trauma made me want to be a HEMS Paramedic and expand my knowledge.”

Interesting fact: Tammy used to do boxing as a hobby before becoming a Paramedic.
