Callout 2024_108
Injured walker
The Team was called out by a walker whose partner was thought to have broken her lower leg. Due to the severity of a broken leg, as the Team was deploying, the GNAAS responded. The helicopter was first on scene and their Doctor assessed the injury and concluded no leg fracture.
The Team stretchered the casualty to the helicopter and she was flown down to the valley floor and transferred to a Team Land Rover. The casualty and her partner then made their own way to hospital.
