Every day, ambulance staff face the risk of violence while simply trying to help others. Adam Hopper has made it his mission to change that. Adam is driving national work to protect frontline teams - from introducing data tools that predict where violence may occur, to ensuring staff are trained in de-escalation and supported when incidents happen. His belief is simple but powerful: you can't prevent what you don't know and he's working tirelessly to build a culture where every incident, even near misses, is reported and learned from. Through campaigns like Work Without Fear, Adam has helped show the public the people behind the uniform, reminding us that paramedics and call handlers deserve to feel safe while doing their jobs. His compassion, persistence, and focus on staff wellbeing make Adam an unsung hero.
