Thursday 10 Sept (1150hrs)
The busy start to September continued with the team’s 6th call out in 10 days. Yorkshire Ambulance Service (YAS) contacted the team to attend to a walker with a lower limb injury between Foxton Bridge and Middleton-on-Leven. One Land Rover was deployed with other team members to Foxton Bridge. The first party of 4 members proceeded to the casualty site to make the initial assessment. When the Land Rover arrived along with other team members the requested medical kit and stretcher/wheel were transferred to the site. The team medics provided the required treatment before the casualty was loaded onto the stretcher.and transferred approximately 500m to the road. The YAS crew met the casualty at the bridge.
We hope the casualty makes a full and speedy recovery
16 team members were involved for approximately 2.5 hours
