London Health Service

What does the LHS do?

The London Health Service (LHS) is responsible for delivering ambulance services and providing pre-hospital care throughout London under PoliceMP. The LHS promptly responds to a diverse range of emergencies, including medical crises, road traffic accidents, and incidents that sometimes require specialist training.

The LHS operates in close collaboration with other agencies, such as the police, and employs specialised teams equipped with advanced medical equipment, staffed by highly trained medical professionals. As part of the larger London Health Service, the LHS is one of three divisions, including HEMS and HART, that collectively deliver life-saving care in both urgent and critical situations, regardless of their complexity.
