CALLOUT WHILE TRAININGIt was a normal August monthly training session in Shieldaig this Sunday, where we were refreshing our technical rope rescue skills at the local crag.That was until early afternoon, when the call came in for a crashed paraglider in the hills above Strathcarron. With limited information, but the potential for serious injuries, we quickly derigged and hit the road. Our team arrived and were lifted onto the hill by Coastguard helicopter R151, where they worked alongside the local ambulance paramedics and Winch Paramedic to provide initial care to the casualty. Because of the severity of the injuries, the air ambulance was requested, and Helimed 2 was quickly on scene with a Critical Care team.After packaging and making the casualty as comfortable as possible, the team aided with transferring between helicopters for onward travel to hospital in Helimed 5. We wish the casualty all the best with their recovery.Thank you to all the agencies involved in this response, including @maritimecoastguard @scotambserviceOur team is made up entirely of volunteers who are on call 24/7, 355 days a year. We rely on public donations to enable our work. Please consider donating at the link in our bio.@scottishmountainrescue#mountainrescue #prehospital #criticalcare ... See MoreSee Less
