Ambulance Services
Leadership and Management Perspectives
▶Firstauthoritative guide to ambulance service management
▶Addresses key concepts such as risk management, leadership
development and organizational culture
▶In times ofausterity and cuts in public service budgets, tells how to
do "more for less" while protecting public from increased risk
This volume provides fresh insights and management understanding of the changing role
of the ambulance services against the backdrop of massive cuts in health budgets around
the world and the changing context of pre-hospital care within the wider healthcare
networks. The challenges of funding, training and cultural transformation are now
felt globally. The book offers critical insights into the theory and practice of strategic
and operational management of ambulance services and the leadership needs for the
service. One of the highlight of this volume is to bring together scholarship using experts-
academics, practitioners and professionals in the field, to each of the chosen topics.
The chapters are based in the practical experiences of the authors and are written in a
way that is accessible and suitable for a range of audiences. We are confident that this
book will cater to a wider audience to inform policy and practice, both in the UK and
internationally.

“This unique and valuable publication, charts the history and development of the
ambulance service in England over the last hundred years or so. The role of this key
emergency service has always been important, and arguably never more so than today.
The contributing authors have not only provided the reader with gr
eat insights into where the service has come from and the leadership challenges it has,
and continues to face; it also gives examples of how the future could look as our journey
of transformation continues.”
Peter Bradley CBE, MBA (and author of Taking Healthcare to the Patient 2005), Chief
Executive Officer.
