Abuse of our staff will not be tolerated.
On scene and on the phone, our people should be able to work without fear.

London ambulance crews and call handlers say they face sexual harassment and abuse almost every day while trying to help patients.
The London Ambulance Service recorded 462 incidents in a year, including groping, threats and indecent exposure. Paramedic Gosha Graf, who was sexually assaulted by a patient, is speaking out as the service launches a campaign calling for greater respect for its staff.
We’re recruiting!
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join #TeamLAS as a Deputy Divisional Director of Operations within the Trust Operations Directorate ⬇️ 🚑

Today I’m at #ESS in Birmingham - it’s great to connect with colleagues, get some CPD time in, and learn about products and innovation.

I’m meeting system partners this morning to talk through and share our plans and prep for winter.
It’s been a tough summer, and much of our efforts will also apply to how we keep people safe in colder weather too ☀️ ⛄️

And also earlier this morning….
Members of my team and I, joined by Chief Operating Officer @CraigAHarman, celebrated #999Day in the City of London, alongside other partner responders.
#TeamLAS
On #999Day, our Chief Executive @JasonKillens KAM led a moving ceremony reflecting on the vital role our emergency services play in protecting and caring for our communities, with a two-minute silence remembering those colleagues who are sadly no longer with us 💚

Feeling the heat?
With a @metoffice Amber Heat warning in place, please take extra care in the sun and follow Paramedic Ushma's top tips for staying well 💚
Use 111 Online for urgent medical advice.
Today I had the pleasure of meeting retired colleague, Stephen, who left LAS after an amazing 42 years service.
Today’s presentation was somewhat overdue, but we’re grateful Stephen came back in for us to recognise his contributions to #TeamLAS - including delivering 54 babies!
With hotter weather expected again this week, take care near water - look after children and make sure they know the dangers - open stretches of water, streams or rivers are often cold, and still dangerous.
It’s #DrowningSafetyPreventionWeek

Great to catch up with @SJALondonRegion this morning to talk over some operational matters. Can’t go into the detail here - but, pleased we’re able to help by some partnership working.

Happy #IPD2026 !
Here at London Ambulance Service, we are so proud of our paramedics, whether they work on the frontline or in our control rooms.
So, today to mark the occasion, we asked some of our paramedics why they are proud to work for London Ambulance Service.

Today marks 21 years since the 7/7 bombings in London.
We remember the 52 people killed and our thoughts are with all those who were injured and affected.
We also pay tribute to our teams and all our emergency service colleagues for their efforts that day.

Here’s this week’s VLOG with a massive thank you to all our fabulous people across @Ldn_Ambulance who’ve been working hard this week in the extreme heat keeping Londoners safe.
Our teams are out in the severe heat looking after London.
Please help us, by only calling 999 in an emergency.
Use NHS 111 for urgent care help and advice.

London is heating up. Over the next week temperatures could reach above 30 degrees, choose wisely when you need our help.
Remember your local pharmacy can help with heat‑related symptoms and managing hay fever.
Keep cool, stay hydrated, and look out for others in the heat.
