Every single day, our crews and call handlers face sexual abuse while helping patients across the capital.
From inappropriate comments and unwanted touching to threats and sexual violence, this behaviour is unacceptable.
We show up for London. Please show us respect.

As we prepare for winter, the changing season is bringing an early surge in calls from very sick patients and those with respiratory illnesses.
We are calling on those eligible to get their flu vaccine, and for Londoners to follow @NHSuk advice on colds, flu and winter health✅

A year after a life-changing incident, Victor Arotsky has reunited with the paramedics who helped save his life.
Victor suffered a cardiac arrest after a Lime bike knocked him into the path of a coach during a lunchtime runs. He survived against all the odds.

On behalf of all Londoners, I want to extend my thanks to the London Ambulance Service for their heroic work around the clock during a summer unlike any other.
The demand has been relentless, and paramedics and crews have been there for Londoners when they needed them most.
This summer was our busiest on record. We responded to the highest number of 999 calls and seriously ill patients.
From June to August, we responded to 599,300 emergency 999 calls in total.

Productive meeting with @MayorofLondon this afternoon where we chatted about responses, mental health, resilience and violence and aggression against our people amongst other things.
Behind every ambulance response is a team working around the clock.
I met with Jason Killens, CEO of @Ldn_Ambulance to discuss how we can work together to save lives, tackle health inequalities, support our incredible NHS staff and build a healthier, safer London.

I spent time out on shift across the capital today.
During my shift I attended incidents in Battersea, Kilburn and Chelsea, and checked in with teams at Fulham and Isleworth ambulance stations, plus our Hazardous Area Response Teams.
Later in the evening I visited Chelsea & Westminster Hospital, where I saw the teamwork, focus and professionalism of our people working with hospital colleagues to ensure patients are handed over safely and without delay.
Days like this remind me just how committed and compassionate our people are.

A man has been jailed for 12 weeks after harassing London Ambulance Service paramedic Ella while she was responding to a 999 call. In the first conviction of its kind secured by the @metpoliceuk, the offender has now been sentenced to 12 weeks in prison.

Help improve care at London Ambulance Service by completing our 999 patient survey.
Whether you called 999, received phone advice or an ambulance, we want to hear about your experience.
So pleased to see this in the field. @Ldn_Ambulance first 999 survey, a key plank of our efforts to listen more to patients which also includes a drive to listen to patients impacted by health inequality – at Camberwell, London

This is a great result for the ambulance sector with 4 out of 10 CEOs appearing in the top 50 NHS CEOs in England. Clearly, delighted to be one of them.
Very pleased to see four ambulance trust chief execs in this list including John Martin at no 8 (especially as two others were leaving and were ineligible). A tribute to the hard work going on in the sector to improve patient care. guides.hsj.co.uk/Guide.aspx?…

Today we've provided @Hatzola with four substitute vehicles from @LDN_Ambulance so this voluntary service can continue giving emergency care to anyone in need.
We'll cover the cost of permanent replacements for those destroyed in this antisemitic attack.
