CALLOUT 24 – Call to assist injured horse rider

After the team spent much of the weekend on a trainee skills assessment in Coniston, team members had begun to get home, put some washing on, maybe even sort some food… but it didn’t last long! (A post with details from the weekend to follow later this week)

On Sunday evening (7/7/22 at 16:55) the team were contacted and subsequently mobilised to assist the North West Ambulance Service NHS Trust NWAS with a casualty who had taken a fall from a horse near Wardle, Littleborough.

Team members made their way to the location and met both NWAS and NWAA (North West Air Ambulance Charity) Colleagues on the scene. With the assistance of a local farmer the casualty was transported to the helicopter for onward transport to the hospital – we wish them a speedy recovery.
