CALLOUT 13 – Call to assist with transfer of patient

CALLOUT 13

The team were called to assist with the transfer of a gentleman needing dialysis. We were called because the access to the gentleman’s home was difficult for the ambulance to access – no problem for our specialist 4×4 ambulances.

A quick trip and the gentleman was safely transferred and on his way to the hospital.

A local community based callout for today. Not all our work involves ropes, helicopters and remote rural locations, we do a lot in the community, helping wherever we can…
