Week Ending 11th October 2009

Monday evening 05-10-2009 saw the Venturers Search and Rescue and Lymington RNLI Lifeboat in a casualty handling exercise, immobilising a casualty aboard the baverstock vessel of Lymington who had suffered a broken arm and spinal injuries.

The Lymington Lifeboat arrived on scene first and stabilised the casualty. Venturer Rescue One then arrived on scene with a spinal board and the casualty was carefully loaded onto the board and transferred to the Venturers vessel.

The exercise is the first one to show the newly developing working relationship between the Venturers and Lymington RNLI Lifeboat, it promoted team work between the services in a difficult situation.

We would like to extend our thanks to Mike Crowe, 2nd Helm of the Lymington Lifeboat for his warm reception of our request to set up a training exercise and indeed to the rest of the crew for making a fantastic exercise happen.
