Over the weekend, we had the opportunity to support Wiltshire Police South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust and DWFireRescue in a large-scale major incident training exercise.

Many of our amazing volunteers stepped into the role of members of the public, helping to create a realistic and challenging scenario for emergency services to respond to. A big thank you to everyone involved in making the exercise such a success!

Tonight’s multi-agency training exercise has now successfully been completed. The centre will be open as normal tomorrow.

Thank you for your support while this was conducted.
