Away from her day job as a Corporal in the Royal Military Police, Gemma, volunteers as an Ambulance Co-Responder in support of the South Central Ambulance Service. Her role is to respond in marked response vehicles prior to the arrival of an ambulance, primarily to patients with Category 1 - Life Threatening and Category 2 - Emergency conditions which require immediate response.

Talking about her role, Gemma said "It means a lot to contribute towards the effort of providing emergency medical care to patients during this pandemic. Making a difference not only to the Ambulance crews by relieving a small amount of pressure but also to the care of the patients makes it all so worthwhile and now more than ever we feel incredibly valued. I am very proud to say that I am able to do my bit and be a part of the effort in providing front-line care at a time like this."
