London Ambulance Service is today involved in a major exercise to test the emergency services and government response to a terrorist attack in central London.
More than 140 operational and support staff alongside specialist London Ambulance Service teams will be testing their emergency medical response to this kind of incident.
Director of Operations, Jason Killens, said: “Our response involves getting to the scene as quickly as possible and assessing, triaging and treating any patients there.
“In a real life situation we would also be taking these patients to the most appropriate hospital for their care.
“We have specialist teams who receive specialist training to work at the scene of mass casualty firearms attacks. The specialist kit includes ballistic vests, helmets and personal protective equipment."
This operation, which has been planned for over six months, has been developed jointly by the Metropolitan Police Service and the Home Office. Over 14 different organisations and agencies are taking part.
Jason said: "We regularly carry out live exercises to test our plans about how we and the other services would respond to an incident like this.
"This exercise will also test our tactical response including working with our emergency services partners and other parts of the NHS.”
A full debrief will be carried out after the exercise to make sure that any learning is properly captured.

On Tuesday 21st June 2022, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service hosted Exercise Mitchell, a large-scale training exercise at their Bury Training and Safety Centre.
The exercise focused on testing the multi-agency operational response to a CBRNE incident by working with partners and volunteers.
Volunteers were on hand to play the part of casualties following a chemical incident on a tram. Greater Manchester Police (GMP), Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS), North West Ambulance Service (NWAS), Transport for Greater Manchester (TFfG) and other partners responded to the incident.
The exercise commenced with joint working between emergency service control rooms in the early stages of the incident, with several calls being made on 999 calls reporting an incident had occurred on the tram.
It took the form of a multi-agency response to the incident in the morning, working with GMP and NWAS. Later in the afternoon crews also set up and tested the Mass Decontamination Unit, helping volunteers through the process.
This training helps to reinforce understanding of different agencies roles and responsibilities during the response to such an incident and validate learning from the response to previous Major Incidents in Greater Manchester. The exercise also reinforced JESIP principles and procedures to help embed multi-agency working amongst Greater Manchester and regional partners.
Further elements of the exercise will take place later in the year, focusing on the Strategic Coordinating Group (SCG) and Tactical Coordinating Group (TCG) elements of a Major Incident.
The overall exercise helped to test the multi-agency response at the Strategic, Tactical and Operational levels including looking at the operational response, Local Resilience Forum procedures and interoperability between organisations.
You should call 101, the national non-emergency number, to report crime and other concerns that do not require an emergency response.

The first stage of a simulated terrorist attack at intu Trafford centre finished this morning.
The exercise, codenamed Exercise Winchester Accord, began at midnight on Monday 9 May 2016 at intu Trafford Centre. Greater Manchester Police officers and other emergency services, including Merseyside Police, Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service and North West Ambulance Service, were deployed in the staged exercise, to test and evaluate the emergency services response to a major terrorist incident.
The first stage of the exercise at intu Trafford Centre took place whilst the centre was closed to the public, and ran from midnight and into the early hours.
Over the following two days the exercise will continue in locations in the North West, including Redbank Community Home, in Newton-le-Willows, Merseyside on Wednesday 11 May 2016.
Assistant Chief Constable Rebekah Sutcliffe said: “Stage one of the exercise finished this morning and will continue until Wednesday.
“Residents in the area may have heard loud noises and noticed emergency services around intu Trafford Centre in the early hours of this morning and I would like to thank them for their patience whilst this first stage of the exercise took place.
“Our priority is to stop terrorists from planning and orchestrating attacks and with exercises like this, we can put our response to the test in a safe environment, so we are fully prepared for a time when it may be critical.
“I want to make it clear that this is not linked to any specific terror threat or attack, but is an opportunity for us to make sure we are in the best position possible, should a terrorist attack happen in the North West.
“I would like to thank everyone who took part in the exercise and intu Trafford Centre for following us to use their centre. Their support in the planning of this exercise demonstrates their commitment to test their response to a major incident and protect their staff and customers.”
Richard Paxton, General Manager of intu Trafford Centre, said: "This exercise was a unique opportunity to test both intu Trafford Centre and the emergency services’ working practices on such a large scale. It was a great success and a worthwhile experience for everyone involved.”
Any suspicious activity or behaviour can be reported to police via the confidential Anti-Terrorist Hotline by calling 0800 789 321. Extremist or terrorist content online can be reported at www.gov.uk/report-terrorism.
