Stay cool in the heat 😎   Clinicians like Leon are out on shift in the hot weather today.   If you’re out in #LDN, make sure you stay hydrated, wear sun cream and stay in the shade where possible. See our pinned post for tips on staying well when the pollen count is 'Very High'

It was a very busy day in our 999 control room yesterday with 6,300 calls. We usually see a spike in demand during hot weather spells. Take extra steps to stay well if you’re out in London today. NHS 111 can direct you to the right care if it’s not a life-threatening emergency.

At #TeamLAS, our Emergency Resource Dispatchers (ERDs) play a vital role in the #ControlRoom. They send our resources, such as ambulances and fast-response cars, to emergencies across London. We’re proud of this group who successfully completed their ERD training this month! 💚

80 years ago today, the Second World War ended in Europe. We remember the people who contributed to the war effort and made sacrifices for our freedom, including the brave ambulance auxiliaries who risked their lives to provide care in London. #VEDay #LondonHistory

THREAD: Our response times for reaching the most serious emergencies in April 2025 were the fastest they have been for years, according to new NHS England data released today. The response times have been achieved despite 999 call volumes remaining consistently high. 🧵🔽 1/3

Great piece on such an important issue. Positive recognition of London Ambulance Service mental health joint response cars. Hoping 10 year plan will set out a vision on how to both improve mental health care and reduce incidence. Key area of focus for NHS Providers

Emergency departments in London are very busy so efforts to reduce pressure are crucial. The Times and The Sunday Times joined a mental health joint response car on shift to learn more about the difference our specialist crews are making for patients in mental health crisis.
