The team were called to a walker (f,13) who had slipped whilst walking up Pen-y-ghent with her father and dislocated her kneecap. A hasty party was dispatched up to her in CRO 4 (our Honda Pioneer) whilst two team Landrovers took more members up Horton Scar Lane. After an initial assessment and pain relief a team nurse was able to relocate the casualty’s kneecap before splinting her leg. The team then carried her by stretcher down to a team Landrover for transport back to Horton. After discussion with the team doctor the patients father then took her to hospital for further checks.
