Unfortunately today a lady had a seizure on the campsite. Within a few minutes of the 999 call, our (volunteer) local first responder was on scene administering life saving support.
Shortly afterwards the doctor and ambulance arrived. 30 minutes later the air ambulance arrived.
The lady was still fitting, so the decision was made that the air ambulance specialists would travel by road to support the casualty all the way to Lancaster and meet the helicopter there.
It proved a stark reminder for us that we have some fantastic volunteers, professionals and air ambulance charity supporting our rural communities.
Sometimes thank you doesn’t seem enough.
The North West Air Ambulance Charity provides enhanced pre-hospital care to the most critically ill & injured patients across the North West.
