An unprecedented insight into the London Ambulance Service, from the highly pressurised control room to the crews on the streets, Ambulance provides an honest 360-degree snapshot of their daily dilemmas and pressures.
The first episode reveals the dilemmas faced by the London Ambulance Service as they are forced to bump patients down the queue so they can prioritise the sickest, deal with time-wasters and cope with the ever-present threat that a major incident is just a 999 call away.
An ordinary day in London means dozens of car crashes, overdoses, suicide attempts and - statistically - 28 cardiac arrests, where every second can make the difference between life and death. By 11.00am, seven cardiac arrests have already come in, and now there are two more people fighting for their lives. As one crew battles through traffic to try to save a dad of two, across the city, another faces a difficult decision - whether to stop resuscitating their patient, knowing full well the impact it will have on the family.
The brain of the service is the control room and, when a number of stabbings, suicide attempts and a double shooting flood the 999 phone lines simultaneously, they threaten to overwhelm the service. And when there is an unexpected spike in 999 calls - far outstripping the number of ambulances available - drastic action has to be taken. Some emergency callers have to be told an ambulance cannot come to them so that the service can prioritise reaching those in most urgent need. Multiple calls about an explosion in a flat come in and herald the control centre's worst fear - now, the whole of the London Ambulance Service has to step up.

As a recovering addict who has met many other addicts, so many have fucked up their lives to the point that they honestly feel that they have nothing left to live for except to get high. Unfortunately, many of these addicts struggled with recovery and drove their friends and family away. Many started on drugs due to depression or medical complications, and I think nearly every single one of them have endured some sort of mental trauma which now complicates their recovery (sometimes this is childhood abuse, etc, sometimes it's a result of being in situations due to their own actions or addictions). Unfortunately, drugs physically change the way your neurons connect in your brain, making it very hard to stop after a certain point.

We had so much respect for the 911 staff, supervisors would allow us to sit and observe operations from observation room where we can watch them without disturbing them. I learned so much of how the system works and because of that we started escorting dispatchers coming off duty to the local train station so they could get home without incident, as a thank you for the work they did

That medic’s words about ALWAYS telling his kids “I love u” before hanging up/leaving due to his job making him realize how fragile life can be...is spot on. Unfortunately I learned this lesson at just the age of 4-5. I left my grandpa’s hospital room w/o telling him I loved him bc I wanted to get candy w/the $5 he gave me. He passed away later that night from a second heart attack. The fact I didn’t say “bye” & “I love u” was compounded by the fact my parents felt I was too young to go the wake or funeral. Which was likely the right call but as a kid all I knew was he was gone & I didn’t tell him I loved him. Literally from then on if my parents or other family left w/o me telling them I love them I would freak out. Just one of those kid’s logic things. But when I got in my pre-teens I began going on emergency calls with my parents who were part of the local volunteer fire dept who also offers medical as well. So seeing things thru that reinforced the point that anything can happen & I never wanted my last words to be anything negative & want them to know I love them. I grew up to be a fire fighter...then a paramedic & ER nurse. I still make sure to never part from my loved ones without saying I love you.

As retired US Army I've seen some stuff that I never want to see again. I'd never be able to do what these paramedics do. I've seen enough blood to last a life time, a lot of it was my own. But some stuff you see in the Army you would almost likely never se as a paramedic. I've seen what grenades, RPGs, and IEDs can do to people, even when it's at a distance from the blast. You never forget those scenes and events. My friend who was my medic when I survived an IED went on to be a paramedic and he is amazing for what did and does on a daily basis. He saved my life, if he wasn't there when it happened I would of bled out. He has always been a huge help even after the Army. He listens and knows what to do when I have those moments. He helped support me and helped me learn how to walk again after losing my leg. Brad if you somehow ever see this, love you brother.

I so loved that last couple! I'm divorced from my husband and live on the same property with him. We've got animal children we care for together. We had issues as a married couple, but realize that our friendship was more important, than the rings on our fingers. We had no children together, tho I have three from a previous marriage, which when that one ended, we still maintained a friendship for our children. Even sharing holidays together when they were young. Both old and new husbands, they, we, all got along, family is more important than a grunge. The children didn't do anything to end the marriage and since we appreciate that we brought them into this world, they will always come before our needs. My ex has stepped in for my grandchildren, as my children's father past away from cancer seven years ago. And he is accepted and love by them as Papa. He's my best friend, a genuine person, who after thirty years, I can and do trust with my life! Sometimes, a divorce can bring you more happiness than the marriage!

In the states we just drive ourselves to the ER because the ambulance is so expensive you just can't afford iit.I went to the ER one time because of a spot wouldn't stop bleeding. I sat in the waiting room for a couple of hours. Then got to go into a room, where I sat for another couple of hours. I could hear the nurses and doctors talking and laughing in on of the back rooms. I stopped someone going past and they said I would just have to wait because they were going to see people who were brought in by ambulance first if any came in. There weren't any coming in though. It stopped bleeding finally and I had never been seen by anyone. I left and went home. I got a bill for $300 just because I was in there. My income at the time was $400 a month, but they expected me to still pay. This country's health care system sucks

Here in Australia it isn't because of a lack of ambulances but a lack of beds in the hospitals. "Ramping" is where ambulances get stuck waiting with patients outside of hospitals because there is literally no bed available to the person. Doesn't matter how many ambulances they add, if they don't increase hospital capacity, it will continue.

I wonder if the UK has a similar system to Australia? Here if you're bold enough to call after a shaving nick, you'll get a low acuity paramedic. They come out, assess your minor injury and treat appropriately. Might even give you a dose of "there, there, it's OK", or give you a pamphlet on how to harden up and be a man. OK< maybe not the last bits. But basically, not all minor injuries need nor get a stretcher ambulance and two paramedics.
