A young paramedic’s dedication to the job she loved has been formally recognised by the King, four years after she tragically lost her life while serving our communities.
Alice Clark, who had only just started her dream career with us when she tragically died, has been awarded the Elizabeth Emblem which is a national honour awarded by the King to the next of kin of public servants who lose their lives in the line of duty.
Based out of Paddock Wood in Kent, Alice was the passenger in an ambulance which tragically collided with another vehicle in January 2022 when she was aged just 21.
The award will be presented to Alice’s parents, Gill and Graeme Clark, in recognition of her service later this year. Alongside families of other recipients, Gill and Graeme Clark recently visited Downing Street, where they met the Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister ahead of the latest list of Elizabeth Emblem recipients being published. Alice is among 53 individuals named in this third list since the emblem was established in March 2024.
Alice’s legacy of compassion, courage and public service remains firmly held in the hearts of her family, friends and colleagues across the Trust.
