lockdown was first announced cases of paramedic and first responder abuse and harassment skyrocketed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They have remained at a high level ever since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ambulance workers say that the fear of catching the virus has left the general public stressed and more prone to outbursts during calls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lisa O\u2019Sullivan, a paramedic from Blackweir in Cardiff, was spat at by a patient in August 2020 while responding to reports of a man having a seizure in Callaghan Square.<br><br>She said: \u201cI tried to defuse the situation by telling him my name and explaining what I was trying to do, but then he spat at me, which caught my face and my arm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe were in the middle of the pandemic and even though I was wearing PPE, I had no idea whether he had Covid-19, let alone what other blood-borne diseases he may be carrying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was traumatic. I felt hurt. I was there to help him and that\u2019s how he treated me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nine of the 12 months of 2021 saw incidents of harassment and physical abuse climb above 30 cases, or more than one a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most violent period for attacks was May 2021, which saw 51 reported cases of abuse, an average of almost two incidents a day. This was the same month in which the Trust\u2019s campaign was introduced after it became clear that ambulance crews require greater protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than 100 soldiers, sailors and airmen were <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shropshirestar.com\/news\/uk-news\/2021\/12\/23\/number-of-military-drivers-assisting-welsh-ambulance-service-to-be-doubled\/\">drafted in to help<\/a> the Trust in October last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Judith Paget, Chief Executive of NHS Wales, said: \u201cOur emergency workers provide life-saving and life-changing care every day in often difficult circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAny form of attack on our emergency workers is completely unacceptable, and we are doing everything we can to work with NHS Wales employers and our partner agencies to eradicate physical or verbal assaults on staff.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reports of abuse directed at members of the Welsh Ambulance Service Trust (WAST) are at
