London Ambulance Service Callouts by Age and Gender 2004/2005 Please note, figures may not add up to the precise number of callouts experienced by Ealing for both Charts 2 and 3. This is due to fields being left blank at the time of filling out the personal details of the patient. When considering the ages of those typically being attended to on callouts there is a slight differentiation between males and females. Females tend to be attended to at an earlier age with a peak in the age category 20 to 24. Slight variations continue with a late peak again in the 40 to 44 age bracket - a decline in trends is noticed from this point up until the age 85+. Males steadily increase from 15 to 19 with a slight dip noted between the ages 35 to 39 before peaking during their early 40’s. It is not until after the age range of 50 to 54 that figures decline steadily up until the age of 85+. Pan London Trends Trends identified across London highlight that, of the 33 individual London Boroughs, the City of Westminster had the largest volume of alcohol related callouts during 2004/2005. Camden presented as the 2nd highest and Ealing 3rd; experiencing 1,416 callouts – a figure 64.3% higher than the London wide average of 861.9. 999 Callouts to Alcohol Related Incidents Pan London 2004/2005 2004/2005 3000 London Average 2500 2000 1500 1000 500 0 Brent Ealing Sutton Enfield Barnet Merton Bexley Harrow Islington Camden Bromley Lambeth Croydon Hackney Newham Havering Haringey Hillingdon Redbridge Hounslow Lewisham Southwark Greenwich Wandsworth City of London of City TowerHamlets Waltham Forest Waltham City of Westminster of City Kingston upon Thames upon Kingston Barking and Dagenham and Barking Richmond upon Thames upon Richmond Kensington and Chelsea and Kensington Fulham and Hammersmith Chart 4.

    London Ambulance Service NHS Trust Medical Directorate Executive Office Headquarters 220 Waterloo Road London SE1 8SD Tel: 020 7783 2083 IMPORTANT INFORMATION 13 September 2019. TO: Emergency Departments Pan London. FROM: London Ambulance Service. Re: Inter-Facility Transfers Dear Colleagues, Every day there are many occasions when ambulance trusts are required to undertake an urgent or emergency conveyance of a patient as a result of a call from a healthcare professional (HCP) or from a healthcare facility (IFT). Currently the process for these transfers is subject to local arrangements. As a component of the ARP two new national frameworks for the ambulance trust response to HCP and IFT requests for ambulance attendance and conveyance have been drafted by the Association of Ambulance Chief Executives and approved in collaboration with ambulance commissioners, NHS England and NHS Improvement and other key stakeholders. The purpose of these frameworks is to support the development of local agreements that are more consistent nationally and which provide HCP and IFT requested conveyance in a timeframe that is equitable with other patients accessing 999 ambulance services. IFT New Process and Standards There are now 4 levels of inter-facility response. IFT Level 1 (IFT1) Category 1 This level of response should be reserved for those exceptional circumstances when a facility is unable to provide immediate life-saving clinical intervention such as resuscitation or in the case of a declared obstetric emergency and requires the clinical assistance of the ambulance service in addition to a transporting resource. These requests should be made by phoning 999 where the call will be triaged by the ambulance service.

  • Update on LFC Support to the London Ambulance Service During the Pandemic
    Decision title Update on LFC Support to the London Ambulance Service during the Pandemic Recommendation by Decision Number Deputy Commissioner LFC-0467-D Protective marking: NOT PROTECTIVELY MARKED Publication status: Published in full Summary Report LFC-0467 seeks the agreement of the London Fire Commissioner (LFC) to provide continuing support to the London Ambulance Service (LAS) during the COVID-19 pandemic. In March 2020, at the beginning of the Covid pandemic, the LFC agreed to provide assistance to the LAS due to the significant rise in the demand on that service which the LAS was unable to meet. That provision has continued throughout, but the number of personnel deployed by the LFC has reduced over time. The LAS has now requested a significant level of renewed support in the region of 100 personnel for a period of approximately three months due to an increase in Covid related calls. In view of the effluxion of time and the changing circumstances since the original decision, the risks and benefits for the LFC and the London communities it serves are re-evaluated in this report. The recommendation is that the LAS requested support be provided, as far as possible, possibly moving to a different model of provision in the future, and that the arrangement be underpinned by a formal arrangement that includes the full reimbursement of the costs to the LFC in order to protect the Brigade in the increasingly challenging financial environment. The support to the LAS involves watch-based personnel (firefighters, leading firefighters, sub-officers and station officers) who have volunteered to do so working with the LAS.

  • 7 June 2021 Dear Andrew Blake-Herbert, I Am Writing to Provide You with an Update on Some Developments the Trust Is Undertaking
    Operations Directorate Headquarters 220 Waterloo Road London SE1 8SD 7 June 2021 Tel: 020 7783 2000 www.londonambulance.nhs.uk Dear Andrew Blake-Herbert, I am writing to provide you with an update on some developments the Trust is undertaking to further improve the high quality, urgent and emergency care we provide to Havering and the surrounding area. As you will know from our 2018-2021 Strategy, we outlined our ambition to become a world-class ambulance service for a world-class city through seven enabling strategies, one of which is the transformation of our operations and estate to ensure it is fit for the modern 21st Century. We recognised that our estate comprised of an eclectic mix of property inherited and accumulated over many years, much of which dated back to the Victorian times of horse-drawn ambulances in 1880s, and was not fit for purpose in a modern, world-class city. In driving forward our strategy and taking on board the recommendations from Lord Carter’s review into ‘Operational productivity and performance in English NHS ambulance trusts: unwarranted variation’, we published our ‘Estates Vision’ in 2019 which detailed how we plan to overhaul our estate by replacing our existing 68 stations with a network of circa 18 state-of-the-art Ambulance Deployment Centres, operating under a new ‘Hub and Spoke’ model. These Ambulance Deployment Centres, which will be supported by strategically located standby points and rest and refreshment posts for our staff and volunteers across London, aim to have modern, fit for purpose facilities for all of our staff and volunteers.
