Spotted a defibrillator at places like train stations, gyms and shopping centres? There's around 7,000 in London.

You shouldn't be afraid to use a defib - anyone can use one.

This week we've seen a rise in patients with breathing difficulties partly caused by thunderstorms and high pollen count.

Stroke is a medical emergency. Remember F.A.S.T for the signs of a stroke.

Face – has their face fallen on one side? Can they smile?

Arms – can they raise both arms and keep them there?

Speech – is it slurred?

Time – it’s time to call 999

Need medical help?

999 is for serious medical emergencies such as unconsciousness, chest pain, breathing difficulties, choking and severe loss of blood.

If it's not an emergency, you can choose alternative services:

💊 Your local pharmacy
🩺 Your GP

Our thoughts are with all of those impacted by this morning’s significant incident in Hainault.

Read the full statement from Darren Farmer, Director of Ambulance Operations for London Ambulance Service: londonambulance.nhs.uk/2024/04/30/lon…

We were called at 6.54am this morning to an incident near Hainault Underground Station.

We sent multiple resources to the scene. Working together with our emergency services partners, we treated five people and took all five to hospital.

Our crews have now left the scene.

Ever wondered how an ambulance knows where to go and which incidents to respond to? 💭
