His father put in 43 years’ service and was awarded a medal for his work driving ambulances in the city during the wartime blitz. In fact Dawson senior was Allan’s inspiration for writing Carry On Ambulance.
Allan has now completed 36 years with the West Midlands Ambulance Service, including 20 in management. He now works part-time as a paramedic in the town. He lives in the city and is married with two grown-up children and a grandson.view less
