NWAS requested the Team’s assistance in going to the aid of an male who had collapsed while walking with a colleague. The Team was able to drive to the scene. He was examined and treatment was started immediately. The casualty was placed on a stretcher and conveyed to the Team’s Base.

An ambulance took the casualty to hospital for further treatment.

A male who had been walking with his wife had rested during a steep decent and found he could not get back up. The couple rang the police for assistance. Given their location, and the limited numbers of rescuers available, the support of PMRT was requested.

A Team Doctor examined the casualty before he was placed on stretcher and lowered off the fell. The couple were driven to the Team’s Base in a Team Land Rover for a further check before making their own way home.
