A nice picture taken in London last night by on of our CFR’s. @Ldn_Ambulance looking pretty among the Christmas lights by Leicester Square.

Today is #RestartAHeartDay.

Do you know how to do CPR?

The first moments after a person goes into cardiac arrest and before the arrival of medics are vital and can make the difference between life and death.

Lynsey from our team shows how to do chest compressions:

Some of our volunteers are @ @whitmorehighsch today teaching students CPR and AED training to pupils. If nothing else, please learn CPR and AED use online and you could save a life someday.

[London Ambulance Service @Ldn_Ambulance]

On #RestartAHeartDay we're calling on Londoners to get CPR & defibrillator training so they can be confident to step in to help a person in cardiac arrest.

You can perform CPR and use a defib without medical training - but training often makes people more confident to step in.

[London Ambulance Service @Ldn_Ambulance]

Working in the emergency services is so rewarding. But it's not always easy.

And it can take its toll on your mental health.

To all 999 & NHS workers; please open up to someone. Look out for yourself & your colleagues, not just the people you look after.

Last Night we celebrated 10 years responding in Harrow and were blessed to have Chris Hartley-Sharpe from @Ldn_Ambulance and John Newman OBE from @stjohnambulance celebrate with us. Thank you to everyone who could share the evening with us. Here’s to the next 10! 🎂 🎁 🍺 🎉

Have you spotted a defibrillator at places like stations, gyms and shopping centres?

You shouldn't be afraid to use a defib - anyone can use one. If a person's in cardiac arrest they give them a chance of surviving. Defibs will only 'shock' a person if it's needed.

[Harrow CFRs @HarrowResponder]

@Ldn_Ambulance Any plans to role out more? I believe the trial was successful and not enough to meet demand with mental health crisis ever on the rise?

@Ldn_Ambulance @LAS_CycleTeam Can you guarantee the zero emissions!? I’m sure some of them parp?! 😜😅 🚲 💨

@Ldn_Ambulance I do the same dance when I get ROSC if I’m honest! 😂 🤖 💃

Defibrillators are safe and simple to use.

People shouldn't be afraid to use one if required. A defib won't make a situation worse - they can only be used on people in cardiac arrest, people who are clinically dead.

A defibrillator gives a chance of life.

@EricOsnes @GearboxCloud @metpoliceuk Full police powers. They do the same job as a full police officer but do it in their spare time for zero pay. Very commendable and I’ve met Shane. His commitment is incredible.

[Harrow CFRs @HarrowResponder]

@NPASLondon @HeathrowAirport Thank you @NPASLondon for helping to keep us all safe and serve justice. Sounds like you’ve had your hands full tonight. Machetes and knives galore out there. :-(

[Kier Mahon @Big_Daddy_Cool]

@itn_news @RiaChatter great article on TXA tonight but please... AEDs are for use on someone in cardiac arrest not someone who is having a heart attack. A news item on the difference maybe?

[Jon Rogers 💙 @RogersJon2]

Registration has happened! Lots of people are due thanks for helping me on my way, but this one is reserved for @HarrowResponder and some nice folk from @Ldn_Ambulance for their encouragement, enthusiasm and inspiration to take the first leap.
