❤️ 480 Category 1 calls a day, compared with around 400 on a typically busy day
🫁 9,000+ patients treated for breathing difficulties this month

Please help us help those who need us most:

✅ Celebrate responsibly
✅ Look out for friends and family
📞 Use NHS 111 for all other urgent medical advice

Let’s make this Halloween safe for everyone! 💚

We're recruiting Community First Responders. Could this be you?

By day, Anika works as an analyst for a cybersecurity company. In her spare time, she volunteers as a Community First Responder (CFR), helping people in her local community before ambulance crews arrive.

Inspired by a desire to make a difference where she lives, Anika became a CFR to help bridge the gap between a 999 call and the arrival of emergency responders.

Her story shows that you don't need a healthcare background to make a lifesaving difference. With training and support from London Ambulance Service, people from all walks of life can provide extraordinary care when it's needed most.

Interested in becoming a Community First Responder?
