A Halstead paramedic was shortlisted for an award after being described as a "superwoman".
Ali Jay, 47, was named runner up in the staff choice award at the East of England Ambulance Service Excellence Awards.
Ms Jay, who lives off Kings Road, received two nominations from staff who said "she always gives 100 per cent to staff and nothing is ever too much – she is a superwoman" and "she’s developed herself in areas including counselling, and is an exceptional supervisor, being caring, humble and humanitarian."
