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 💚

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.

Our #ambulance staff and volunteers are here to care for Londoners and have the right to #WorkWithoutFear. See a statement from #TeamLAS Chief Executive @danielelkeles.bsky.social below 🔽 More details on the @aace.org.uk data here: buff.ly/4233fgD

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."
