Ireland appeared at Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court on Wednesday, December 20, where she formally entered a not guilty plea to the charges.
This comes after she initially denied the offence at Llandrindod Wells Magistrates’ Court last month.
The incident in question took place while Ireland was driving a Welsh Ambulance Service Trust ambulance, specifically a Mercedes Sprinter.
She is accused of causing an accident that resulted in Sandra Dawson, a passenger on a motorcycle, sustaining "catastrophic, life-threatening injuries".
The upcoming trial, estimated to last three days, is scheduled to begin on April 10, 2024.
