Prince William spent time talking to staff at The Blue Light Hub in Milton Keynes on Wednesday.
On Wednesday (11/10), the Prince of Wales made a visit to The Blue Light Hub in Milton Keynes to meet with emergency response workers as part of his World Mental Health Day engagements.
The Blue Light Hub opened in June 2020 and serves as an emergency services hub and base for South Central Ambulance Service, Thames Valley Police and Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service.
Prince William was also joined by journalist, presenter and psychologist Dr Sian Williams, who currently works at the Centre for Anxiety, Stress and Trauma in the NHS.
Adam Burch, Group Commander Service Delivery North & Resourcing told MKFM: "We welcomed the Prince of Wales to the Blue Light Hub where His Royal Highness was given a guided tour of the Blue Light Hub, one of the first purpose-built combined fire, police, and ambulance premises in the country, to witness first hand, how the blue light services are working closely together to deliver the best possible service to the community.
"The Prince spent some time with a small group of staff from Our Fire Service (Buckinghamshire Fire & Rescue Service) South Central Ambulance Service (SCAS) Thames Valley Police (TVP). Joining His Royal Highness was the esteemed broadcaster, journalist, and psychologist, Dr. Sian Williams, who facilitated discussions with individuals in the early stages of their careers. These conversations underscored the paramount importance of equipping emergency service personnel with the tools to safeguard their mental well-being and enhance their personal resilience.
"World Mental Health Day is about raising awareness of mental health and driving positive change for everyone’s mental health. We are proud that we could share some time talking and raising awareness about such an important subject."
Residents in the Tattenhoe area of Milton Keynes were also in for a surprise when the Prince of Wales landed on their local pavilion field for his visit.
