Full team call out initiated to assist with the extrication of an injured MTB rider from stage 6. The rider was packaged in a vacuum mattress and casualty bag on the rescue stretcher . From the casualty site, the stretcher was sledged down the steep bank to the track of stage 6. On level ground the wheel was applied to the stretcher, then wheeled in heavy rain to the medical tent at Lordstones. The casualty was monitored in the medical tent until the ambulance arrived.
Applications can be made to join the team in a support role (Operational Support) or as a hill going (Search and Rescue) member.
Applications for either role can be made at any time. Intakes for Operational Support members occur at various times of the year. There is one annual intake for Search and Rescue normally each September.

MEDICAL DEVELOPMENT DAY
On Saturday, 28th June, 5 members of the team attended a RRMT (Remote Rescue Medical Technician, aka Cas Carer) development day organised by Swaledale MRT.
Representatives from 21 mountain rescue teams, approx 70 personnel, attended the event, held close to Leyburn.
The day started with a "Show and Tell" session of what medical equipment is in a team vehicle.
This was followed by a round robin event with each team creating a medical scenario which was treated by another team and observed/commented on by a third team.
The day ended with a large scenario involving personnel from various teams, who had never worked together !!
Each scenario throughout the day was not simple, they had "developments" as the care progressed.
A big thank you to Swaledale MRT for organising a great event.
Impressive to see.... 😀
