The duty controller contacted the team to advise that a lady had slipped while descending Ashop Head steps and injured her ankle. The team despatched two sections along with a stretcher to her location. The lady’s ankle was splinted and she was stretchered down to Monks road before being discharged and driven back to her vehicle so her partner could driver her home. This would mean it was possible to visit an A&E department closer to where she lived.
