A fishing hook and a broken ankle

On Friday afternoon the team were tasked to the stone quay to support the ambulance service.

A 10 year old had got a fishing hook in his leg and required lifting from the rocks.

The team provided first aid and lifted the patient up on a stretcher on to the top of the quay. A quick trip to the local hospital for removal of the hook enabled the ambulance to be cancelled.

On Saturday afternoon the team were called to Ocean Bay and a report of a person with a broken ankle.   With the assistance of the RNLI lifeguards and the RNLI ILB with some pain relief again first was provided until the arrival of the ambulance.
