Injured walker
NWAS requested the Team’s help in attending a female who had slipped. She was in a lot of pain and had a suspected ankle fracture. The injury was treated and stabilised with a lower leg splint. The casualty was then transferred by stretcher to a Team Land Rover, thence to the road where she was handed over to a land ambulance for onward travel to hospital.
