I am a final-year PhD student at University College London’s Division of Psychiatry (UCL DoP). My research focuses on the mental health and wellbeing of NHS emergency and urgent call-handlers and dispatchers in England.
This study has received ethical approval from both the NHS Health Research Authority (HRA – Ref: 331921) and the UCL Research Ethics Committee (REC – Ref: 26015/001). The role of NHS emergency and urgent call-handlers and dispatchers is incredibly diverse, and these professionals provide vital support across various services within your Trust, including:
• NHS 999 ambulance services, coordinating urgent and emergency responses. • NHS 111 services, including helplines for mental health, physical health, and CAMHS (Children and Adolescent Mental Health Services). • Specialist NHS helplines, such as those supporting Crisis Teams (e.g., Crisis Assessment and Treatment Teams [CATT], Crisis Resolution and Home Treatment Teams [CRHTT]) or Single Point of Access (SPA) services, ensuring timely and appropriate care.
As part of my research, I would like to submit a Freedom of Information (FOI) request regarding the workforce mentioned above within your NHS Trust. Specifically, I am seeking:

• The total number of NHS emergency and/or urgent call-handlers and/or dispatchers currently employed.
• The mean and median age of these professionals, and a breakdown by age categories (number of staff in each age category)
• A breakdown by sex (number of females and males in each category).
• A breakdown by ethnicity, using the following categories only: (1) Asian, (2) Black, (3) Mixed or multiple ethnic groups, (4) White, or (5) Other ethnic groups (including the number of staff in each category).

Please note that individual Trust data will not be analysed separately; instead, it will be combined with data from other NHS Trusts to assess whether the staff participating in the study are representative of the wider NHS 999 or 111/Urgent helpline workforce.
