A medical weekend

 Starting on Friday the team were called to Studland along with South Western Ambulance after a female fell from a horse on the beach.  First aid was given until the arrival of colleagues from the Ambulance. 

Moving to Saturday both the Swanage and St Albans Coastguard teams were tasked to Old Harry and a report of a person injured falling from their bike. A female was located with a broken wrist and arm and first aid provided until paramedics arrived.  The teams then provided safe transport back to the ambulance and back to the main road. 

Sunday’s patrol were out at Rempstone Forest when they took a call from an off duty team member reporting a lady injured at the Coop in Swanage. 

Whilst not in the usual area of operation , the operations room gave permission for the team to attend and provide urgent first aid until the ambulance arrived. 

Returning to station and cleaning the equipment , the patrol were drawn to an incident in the car park where a lady test driving their grandsons scooter fell heavily to the ground.  Again first aid was provided and advice  was given before finally the equipment was packed away.
