The team was called by North West Ambulance Service to assist with a casualty transfer. A visitor to Muncaster Castle had slipped and painfully injured his knee, rendering him unable to move. Once on scene the teams worked together to assess, provide pain relief and splint the leg, before stretchering the short distance to the ambulance for the onward transfer to hospital.
We wish the gentleman all the best for a swift recovery.
