A cartoon dog called Woody is the star of a series of new animations developed by the Welsh Ambulance Service to help people decide whether their illness or injury really warrants a 999 call.
The animations form part of the ambulance service’s #WoodyWise campaign, which launched on Monday, February 4 to raise awareness of the role of the ambulance service and how to make sensible choices when looking for health advice, support and care. The campaign has been developed as part of the ambulance service’s drive to ensure that people understand where to find the right help and support.
