We were contacted by the PDMRO Duty Controller with a request to assist a gentleman walking above Hayfield who was feeling very unwell. As a medical emergency we were able to get hill parties quickly despatched and our first party on scene included orur team doctor and a team paramedic. Air support was requested and Helimed 54 was able to assist. We were able to stabilise and monitor the gentleman whilst we awaited the air ambulance and the East Midlands Ambulance Service crew to arrive.
Once on scene the air ambulance crew were able to provide advanced care before we carried the gentleman to the helicopter for transfer to a specialist cardiac unit. Throughout we also looked after his son and then took him back to his car.
We wish him all the best and hope that he makes a successful recovery.
