Abstract: Emergency Medical Services (EMS) are facing increasing pressures in many nations given that demands on the service are rising. This paper focuses on the operations of the Welsh Ambulance Service Trust (WAST), which provides urgent care services on a day-to-day basis across the whole of Wales. Facing ever-increasing pressures to provide rapid responses, the Trust is keen to develop new initiatives to meet the response time targets set by the government. This article describes work performed at Cardiff University in collaboration with WAST, investigating a range of Operational Research (OR) methods, including computer simulation, to assist the Trust with capacity planning issues and deployment of emergency vehicles and crews.
