#TeamLAS has already received nearly 10,000 drug and alcohol-related calls this summer. With #NottingHillCarnival coming up, we will have an additional 180 people on duty at the event. Remember to, stay hydrated, eat before drinking, carry water and any meds.

999 demand update 🚨 We are still seeing exceptionally high demand for our services, with a spike in calls related to breathing difficulties. Please keep 999 for life-threatening emergencies. For urgent medical advice you can use 111.

Local Upminster and Hornchurch MP ⁦@JuliaLopezMP⁩ presented Romford Team H with the NHS Parliamentary Award she and ⁦@wesstreeting⁩ nominated Team LAS and ⁦@BHRUT_NHS⁩ for reducing handover delays this morning at their huddle

I headed out on today's 6.30am shift with the London Ambulance Service @Ldn_Ambulance in Havering to see the work they do everyday to serve residents. Before setting off, I presented the team with the national NHS Award they won this week for reducing handover times. Then I went out with the amazing Kate and Chloe to attend calls. Both were former carers and that experience shone through in their approach in calming and caring for patients. Many thanks to the team for sharing their practical insights and for all they do for constituents when they need them most.

It's natural to want to see what's going on in an emergency situation, but please put the camera away 📵 If you witness a medical emergency or accident, respect the privacy of both patients and staff and don't take any photos or recordings.

Sadly, some staff are reporting an increase in racial abuse and hostility from a small minority of our patients. We're taking action to help make sure they are safe in the line of duty 🔽 1/2

We were called at 1.38pm today to a fire in #Northolt. We sent multiple resources to the scene, including ambulance crews, @LAS_HART and @LDNairamb. We treated four patients and took them all to hospital.

Today we celebrated an astonishing 49 years service & retirement with #TeamLAS paramedic Steve. Joining in 1975, he’s worked in a number of roles including as a driving instructor and clinical tutor. Dabs (Group Manager) and I presented his long service bell and certificate.

News! 📣 A big thanks to my new senior leadership team in North East London for making me so welcome, since moving over to you in the last few weeks. Most of us pictured here at our Sector Business Meeting - talking all things patients, performance, and our people. #TeamLAS 🚑

@jobennett26 @Ldn_Ambulance @LAS_TacAdvisor Couldn’t agree more!

Lots of learning with the Command Support Team this month. 3 days on my Operational Commanders Course with a final day practising scenarios and a busy operational shift supporting incidents pan London. The CSV is such a valuable asset. @Ldn_Ambulance @LAS_TacAdvisor
