The team were tasked today to a lady out walking with her family who had sustained a suspected shoulder injury.
While walking down from Ballard towards Old Harry on the SW Coastpath, their boisterous and rather large, (but adorable) puppy accidentally tripped the lady up and she landed awkwardly on the path.
The family followed the correct procedure by calling Coastguard for assistance. After assessing the casualty, providing casualty care, and a discussion with the family, Swanage Coastguard, along with colleagues from St Albans, managed to get the casualty over the fence and transported back down to Studland for further transportation to A+E in the family car.
We wish the lady a swift recovery.
