We know that this is a stressful time for you but you must not try and follow the ambulance. The ambulance may need to use blue lights and sirens to avoid heavy traffic. If you try and follow the ambulance you may cause or be involved in a serious accident.
Where possible before making your way to the hospital, we recommend that you collect some personal belongings for yourself and your loved one, particularly if you live far away from the unit you are travelling to.
