SUNDAY 22nd JUNE (1330hrs)
The team were contacted by North East Ambulance Service (NEAS) to assist an ambulance crew treating a person suffering a medical condition close to summit of Roseberry Topping. As the team were being deployed to Aireyholme farm, we were informed that Great North Air Ambulance Service (GNAAS) would also be supporting.
One Rover attending the Cleveland Hike was deployed from Danby with the other from the base. On arrival at Aireyholme, both Rovers proceeded past the farm up the track towards Roseberry. At the col on Cleveland Way, personnel and kit was deployed to the casualty site, towards the summit.
At the site, the medical personnel stabilised the person. The team then packaged him in the casualty bag on the rescue stretcher then sledged it about 250m to the air ambulance. The air ambulance transferred the casualty to hospital.
We wish the person a speedy recovery.
Once again, thanks to Mark and Kath at Aireyholme Farm for use of the farm yard and access to Roseberry via their land.

MEDICAL CAROUSEL TRAINING SESSION
This week, the midweek training session was a medical carousel of 7 stations in the car park area of Danby Lodge.
5 of the stations involved the treatment of major trauma and medical conditions which would require air ambulance support. To make the treatments more challenging , each group had 15 minutes to treat, stabilise and prepare for the transfer. Why 15 minutes? The air ambulance only had enough fuel to land , collect the casualty and immediately leave.
The remaining stations were a casualty requiring CPR. and a triage of 10 casualties from a major incident .
The casualty CPR was undertaken for at least 10 minutes, The triage classified which casualties are priority over the others using a national protocol.
For those wondering , all casualties were successfully collected by the air ambulance..
