A call was received from North West Ambulance Service to assist with a transfer of a walker who had rolled on her ankle sustaining a painful fracture.
Once the team was on scene a medical assessment was made with pain relief given followed by splinting of the ankle. The short stretcher carry was completed before handover was made to the ambulance crew for transfer to hospital.
We hope the walker recovers quickly from her injury.
