It gives me great pleasure, on behalf of myself, the Lady Mayoress and the Citizens of Bristol to offer our voices in praise of the work carried out by those unsung heroes, 'The Great Western Ambulance Service Paramedics'. Their devotion to duty, regardless of who, what or when is an inspiration to us all and long may they continue. I would like to take this opportunity of wishing you and your students every success with your 'Rise to Challenge' competition. Yours sincerely, Geoff Gollop
