Tributes have been paid to a long-serving paramedic at Welsh Ambulance Service who died in an incident on Thursday, June 23. Little has been shared publicly on the nature of the incident but the Welsh Ambulance Service NHS Trust has confirmed that paramedic Robin Parry Jones, who was based at Pwllheli Ambulance Station, died at the scene.
Mr Parry Jones joined the Welsh Ambulance Service in November 2000 and began his career with the trust's non-emergency patient transport service before qualifying as a trainee ambulance technician in 2002 and as a paramedic in 2005. He has been praised for his "commitment to serving the people of Wales" as a paramedic and also as a community first responder team leader in the Llŷn Peninsula where he supported a large team of volunteers.
In his spare time Robin was a keen fisherman and a member of the local shooting community with his colleagues, it was said. He also enjoyed spending time with his family and dogs.
