RNLI in Seahouses assists with response to medical emergency on Holy Island
RNLI Seahouses Lifeboat Station volunteers were called out just before 6.30am on Friday, May 8 to provide urgent transport for colleagues from the North East Ambulance Service to attend a medical emergency on Holy Island.
As explained on the station’s Facebook page: “Due to the tide times the causeway was completely submerged, therefore the only access to provide urgent medical care was by lifeboat.
“After a quick transit, the paramedics were safely delivered to the casualty. They provided treatment and, following assessment, extracted the casualty by land ambulance once the tide had ebbed and the causeway re-opened.
“We wish the casualty a speedy recovery.”
