Medical Incident in Durlston Bay

 

The team were paged shortly after 11pm to a medical incident near the zig zag path in Durlston Bay. 

 Tasked to assist the ambulance service the team escorted the ambulance crew down to the incident just above the beach.  

Whilst the ambulance crew were treating the casualty the Coastguard team looked at the options to evacuate the casualty safely from the location .  Due to the terrain and the need to stretcher the casualty back to the ambulance , assistance was sought from the Swanage RNLI lifeboat crew.  

On arrival the Coastguard and lifeboat crew worked together to safely transfer the casualty to the inshore lifeboat and then the larger lifeboat back to the slipway where again the ambulance continued their treatment. 

The team were stood down and returned to station around 1am.
