Whilst in The George Hotel for our post team meeting drink, we were alerted to an accident outside. A gentleman had fallen down the concrete steps to the subway and sustained a serious head injury. We were quickly on scene, where we provided casualty care by controlling the bleeding, managing for possible spinal injury and evacuating in a vacuum mattress to our base. At base we were able to provide additional medication, warmth and reassurance before handing over to an EMAS ambulance crew.
