As part of the increased collaboration that has been developed between the Fleet Departments of the three Emergency Services, the National Strategic Ambulance Fleet Group has chosen to hold its fleet and procurement seminar at the 38th NAPFM Event in Peterborough on the 7th September. This provides an excellent opportunity for ambulance fleet and procurement staff to meet with many of the suppliers they share with the police and fire services.

Emergency Services Collaboration -   28th June 2011

Operationally the Emergency Services collaborate on a daily basis; also up and down the country there are excellent local examples of inter service collaboration. However, the public sector cuts have been the catalyst for the three Emergency Services' Fleet Departments to examine the opportunities and benefits from national and local collaboration. The NAPFM, the National Strategic Ambulance Fleet Group and the Chief Fire Officers' Association Transport Officers' Group are working to identify opportunities to collaborate for the benefit of the three services and the public.

The NAPFM Event Team is pleased to announce that National Strategic Ambulance Fleet Group will be holding a seminar on Wednesday 7th September 2011 at the NAPFM Event. This seminar for members of the Ambulance Service Fleet and Procurement Departments will provide an opportunity to combine a visit to the NAPFM Conference & Exhibition which includes many shared suppliers.
