Essex emergency services celebrate International Women’s Day
STAFF from Essex’s emergency services are set to hold a virtual conference to celebrate International Women’s Day on 8 March.
Each year on 8 March, colleagues from the East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust, Essex County Fire and Rescue Service, Essex Police and the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Essex hold a conference to celebrate International Women’s Day.

The virtual conference will be a day to reflect on the work carried out by the emergency services since last year’s International Women’s Day event and what has been learned over that year.
