The start times and lengths of The walkouts vary between ambulance services, but all will last between 12 and 24 hours.
Ambulances will still be sent to The Most life-threatening Calls - known as Category 1, which includes heart attacks. But it is up to each NHS Trust in consultation with The unions to decide which Calls are responded to.
Patients who are seriously ill or injured, or whose lives are in danger, are being advised by The NHS to call 999. For all other healthcare needs, The NHS is advising people to contact or via The NHS 111 helpline, or to contact their local GP or pharmacy.
Out on many of The ambulances will be members of The Armed forces. But their role will be limited - They won't be sent on call-outs involving Critical Care and They won't be providing any clinical care.
Members of The Household Division who are being drafted in say They feel " nervous" but also " honoured" to be Helping Out .
