Welcome to the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service Health and Social Care Trust Website

The Northern Ireland Ambulance Service (NIAS) was established in 1995 and operates a single Northern Ireland wide Ambulance Trust with operational divisions reflecting the areas covered by the four Health and Social Services Boards serving a population of approximately 1.7 million. The Trust is one of the six Health and Social Care (HSC) Trusts and operates regionally across Northern Ireland.

NIAS has an operational area of approximately 14,100sq kilometres (5,600 square miles) serviced by a fleet of over 300 ambulances (Accident and Emergency and Patient Care Service), employs in excess of 1100 staff operating throughout the Trust and operates from over 46 ambulance stations, deployment points throughout Northern Ireland.
