Training with HEMS

Tuesday evening was spent on the Cliffs at Old Harry practicing Rope Rescue and Joint Emergency services working. This week we were joined by Critical Care Paramedics and Doctors from Dorset and Somerset Air Ambulance. This gave us the opportunity to show them our Rope Rescue Capabilities and to explain how our systems work and how, during an incident, we can deploy them to the bottom of the cliff on our Rope Rescue systems in an Accompanied Decent .

..this enables us to take untrained people over the cliff to the scene of an incident where they can provide potential life saving treatment.  It was a really enjoyable evening  training with the helicopter emergency medical service ( HEMS) where we discussed working together and different scenarios.
