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.
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.

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.
#WorldMentalHealthDay
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.

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.

@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?

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.

Well done to our very own Eveli who has gone on to join LAS full time. Wishing you all the best in your new career.
Emergency Ambulance Crew Course 06/18 have been in training since the summer and recently had their ‘track safety day’ with @TfL – shown here.
On Christmas Eve the group will start their 5 week operational placement - their first time out on the road with a paramedic tutor.

It's #InternationalMensDay. In the UK men remain three times as likely to take their own lives than women.
Sometimes we say we're fine when we're not. So if your mate doesn't seem okay, don't forget to #AskTwice.
