London Ambulance Service
We are the busiest emergency ambulance service in the world to provide healthcare that is free to patients at the time they receive it. We are also the only London-wide NHS trust.
We serve more than seven and a half million people who live in the capital, as well as visitors and commuters to the city. This covers about 620 square miles, from Heathrow in the west to Upminster in the east, and from Enfield in the north to Purley in the south.
Our main role is to respond to emergency 999 calls, providing medical care to patients across the capital, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Other services we offer include providing pre-arranged patient transport and finding hospital beds. Working with the police and the fire service, we are prepared for dealing with large-scale or major incidents in the capital.
