'Doctors thought my cancer symptom was a trapped nerve' Katherine Murrell is just 27 but has been diagnosed with cancer an astonishing three times.

On #WorldCancerDay, our inspirational clinician Katherine shared how she's beaten the odds to survive cancer three times.

This week she's featured in the #DailyMirror and hoping her story can help others going through a similar experience 💚

The @aace.org.uk has welcomed @england.nhs.uk's 2025/26 priorities and operational planning guidance, which contains some important implications for all #ambulance services.

Today is #HolocaustMemorialDay, 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. We remember the millions murdered during the Holocaust, and all those targeted by prejudice and systematic persecution.

We stand against all forms of hate and discrimination.

Graphic shows an ambulance on blue slights and text reads: 'December was our busiest month on record for 'Category 1' calls... 16,000 of the most seriously ill and injured patients'.

THREAD: In December 2024, we received a record number of 999 calls about the most serious injuries and illnesses such as cardiac arrests (Category 1).

We're redoubling efforts to ensure we reach our sickest patients during an incredibly challenging winter period.

Any #CallTheMidwife fans in the room? 👋

Quote card header reads: 'Violence recorded against UK ambulance staff on course to exceed 20,000 a year' Quote from Daniel Elkeles, LAS Chief Executive: "These shocking figures illustrate the very real threat staff in the ambulance sector face when trying to care for people. Not only is violence devastating for staff who are assaulted, but there is a wider impact on communities when that person needs time off to recover and is away from the front line. It is unacceptable and we will continue to push for prosecutions and strong penalties for those who assault our clinicians."

Our #ambulance staff and volunteers are here to care for Londoners and have the right to #WorkWithoutFear. See a statement from #TeamLAS Chief Executive

⁦‪Fantastic visit to East Birmingham‬⁩ today to see how they do care co-ordination. Lots of great ideas for us to take away an implement in London @londonambulance.nhs.uk Thank you very much Rob and Emma for organising.

This is a really important piece. We have to find a way to significantly reduce hospital handover delays so that next winter is better for patients and better for our staff than this one @londonambulance.nhs.uk

An image of an ambulance in snowy weather, with a screenshot of a post on X reading: "With colder weather and potential snow on its way to London, please take extra steps to look after yourself and others. Wrap up warm, stock up on any medication you may need, check in on those more vulnerable to cold weather, and use 111 Online to get urgent health advice."

We're getting ready for another really busy weekend. Cold weather can be dangerous for older people, young children & those with underlying health conditions.

Follow #NHS tips for staying well this winter. Save 999 for real emergencies. Use 111 Online for urgent health advice.
