It's #RestartAHeartDay today. In a cardiac arrest, every second counts and without lifesaving intervention – which can be done by passers-by while medics are on their way – the chances of survival decrease by about 10% with every passing minute. Please watch and share this video

Today, one year on, we remember everyone affected by the London Bridge attacks. We would also like to thank again our staff and all the emergency services who responded quickly, bravely and professionally in very difficult circumstances that night.

Please continue to wear face coverings on public transport to keep yourself and others safe, and choose quiet times to travel where possible. When wearing a face covering, please make sure it closely covers your mouth and nose.

This morning we're testing a new, dynamic add-on to our ambulances so we can respond across the River Thames more quickly. At the press of a button the vehicles will transform to have a propeller and inflatable capabilities. What do you think of our new Aquambulances?

We can’t believe we have to say this, but aiming fireworks at our ambulances is #NotPartOfTheJob The crew -who were driving on blue lights to an emergency- were forced to swerve & stop. Luckily there were no patients in the back, but putting our crews in danger is unacceptable.

We're delighted with the result, but this has put a big dampener on the celebrations for us: while our officer attended a call nearby, this car was damaged in Borough High Street during the celebrations after the game - it's now off the road to be repaired.

*PLEASE RETWEET* We’re extremely busy. Our call handlers have been taking almost 400 calls each hour today. Please help us by ONLY calling 999 in an emergency. We must make sure we can speak to and treat those with the most life-threatening injuries and illnesses first.

We have heard reports that it took 30 minutes for our medics to arrive at yesterday’s incident in Streatham We can confirm that our medics arrived in 4 minutes, and were initially directed to a rendezvous point until the police confirmed it was safe for them to approach patients

15 years ago today, London had one of its darkest days. We remember the 52 people killed in the 7/7 attacks and our thoughts are with those who were injured and all affected. We also pay tribute to our teams and all our emergency service colleagues for their efforts that day.

Our team are such a such a nice bunch: they and their families even make cake to celebrate courses passing and becoming medics or call handlers! We can't stop sharing this eggcelent cake made for a team graduating from our Fulham Education Centre in 2018! #NationalCakeDay

It was announced today that secondary school children are to be taught basic lifesaving skills from 2020. 👏 Are you thinking about your New Year's Resolution? Why not choose learning life-saving skills like CPR? How to perform chest compressions ⬇️

The 999 service was launched in London on this day 83 years ago. It was the world's first emergency phone number. The tech and support provided have changed over the years - but emergency services control room teams are still helping and caring for Londoners all day every day.

Cardiac arrest occurs when the heart stops pumping blood around the body. If a defibrillator isn’t immediately available, performing chest compressions and CPR could help save someone’s life before medics arrive. Lynsey from our team demonstrates: #WorldHeartDay
