Our services
The services we provide across London, and the teams behind them.
Our divisions
Every new member of staff starts in Ambulance Operations. The specialist divisions recruit from within the service.
Ambulance Operations
The frontline division for paramedics and emergency responders. Paramedics handle a wide range of incidents; Emergency Responders attend calls focusing on injury responses, heal calls and less critical incidents. This is the only division you can apply to directly.
Clinical Directorate
A sub-division of Ambulance Operations. It trains students, runs continued professional development sessions for current staff, and works with London's Air Ambulance to keep the service's scope of practice and medical documents accurate. Staff can become instructors.
Fast Response Unit
A sub-division of Ambulance Operations with access to Rapid Response Vehicles and a Motorcycle Response Unit, so crews can respond to 999 calls faster than a standard ambulance. Emergency Responders and Paramedics can try out for it.
Hazardous Area Response Team
A specialised division responding to "hot zone" incidents, including chemical emergencies, rescues, traffic collisions and terrorist attacks. HART crews use extensive Personal Protection Equipment and need strong medical knowledge and a good activity record.
London's Air Ambulance
Clinical Operations provides advanced treatment and care, including the Advanced Trauma Team, which specialises in critical care on HEMS missions. Flight Operations, run with London's Air Ambulance Charity, flies advanced helicopters to critical incidents.
Working alongside our partners
Our crews work closely with the police, the fire service and hospitals across the city, so that patients get seamless care from the scene to the emergency department.
