A West Midlands Ambulance Service paramedic is set to be filling the television screen as part of a new series for children.

Jan Vann will feature on the new ten part series titled "Operation Ouch", during a piece called 'on-call'.

She has been filmed responding to emergency calls, with a clip featuring in each episode, to show youngsters what happens when an ambulance is called to an emergency.

“It was very enjoyable being filmed doing my job as a paramedic and will hopefully help children understand the role of the ambulance service in real emergencies.

“It will help take away the fear factor of some of the medical equipment we use and also going in an ambulance.

"Hopefully it will also help educate youngsters on what kind of situation you should call 999 for medical help" she said.

The programme, now in its third season, is fronted by twins Dr Chris and Dr Xand van Tulleken and is packed with incredible facts about the human body.

It is set to air on CBBC every Tuesday from 5.30pm, with the first episode penned in for tonight.
