Medical Incident on Ballard

 

The Coastguard teams from Swanage and St Albans were tasked on Sunday afternoon to Ballard Point to a female suffering from an allergic reaction. 

Weather conditions on the cliffs were difficult at the time with strong winds and rain making treating the casually difficult. 

Due to the medical situation both an ambulance and the rescue helicopter from Lee on Solent were requested, thankfully on arrival the paramedics confirmed the situation didn’t require the helicopter which was then diverted to another incident. 

With the medical incident stabilised the Coastguard teams assisted the ambulance crews in moving the casualty to the nearby ambulance.
