Semi conscious female Great Whernside

A call passed from the Cave Rescue Organisation (CRO) from North Yorkshire Police (NYP) then Yorkshire Ambulance Service (YAS) for a female walker who had been unconscious and was in and out of consciousness on the summit of Great Whernside. Given the reported condition of the casualty and the time it would take to get to the summit YAS control requested Helimed evacuation. UWFRA despatched a team, including a casualty carer and medical bags, who made it to the summit as Helimed lifted off with the casualty and took her to a waiting ambulance on Cam Gill Road. Other team members were being transported up to Hag Dyke and preparing to carry extra equipment.
