Where we fit in the NHS
We are the only NHS trust that covers the
whole of London.
The 999 service we provide to Londoners is
purchased by the capital's 32 primary care trusts that manage
health services in local areas.
Our performance is monitored
by NHS London, the
capital's strategic health authority. Ultimately we are
responsible to the Department of Health.
Our structure
We have 4,500 staff, based
at ambulance stations and support offices across London.
Our emergency response service is split into three operational
areas across London—east, south and west. Each area is managed by
an assistant director of operations.
We have a total of 70 ambulance stations across London which, for
management purposes, sit within 26 local operational areas, known
as complexes.
Each complex is overseen by an ambulance
operations manager, supported by a team of duty station officers, a
training officer and team leaders.
Organisational charts
Our accident and emergency service is split into three
operational areas: west, east and south.
Each is managed by an assistant director of operations, and each
ambulance station complex has its own ambulance operations
manager.
