Every single day, our crews and call handlers face sexual abuse while helping patients across the capital.
From inappropriate comments and unwanted touching to threats and sexual violence, this behaviour is unacceptable.
We show up for London. Please show us respect.

Death threats, racism, homophobia - the harsh reality for 999 & 111 staff.
Lykeisha, a 111 health advisor, shares:
"I was trying to help someone, and they became racially abusive. We are only doing our jobs, there should be no place for racism or abuse in today’s society."
