Training in basic skills

While our water rescue group were swimming in the Dee on Wednesday, the rest of the team was at base.

Groups rotated through three stations -

1) Use of our vacuum mattress and splints, together with use of medical gasses.

2) Fitting and securing a stretcher in the Landrover using our mounting system.

3) Fitting and use of our stretcher wheel.

Keeping the basics slick means rapid rescues, which gets our casualties off to hospital quicker.
