Callout: Sunday 26 October.![]()
No. 160 of 2025. ![]()
We were contacted yesterday by Dyfed-Powys Police at 11.30 with a request to assist Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust and a lady walker who had slipped on a path and sustained a dislocated shoulder whilst walking the waterfalls area of @Bannau Brycheiniog National Park.![]()
From the What3Words provided we had a good indication of the lady’s position and two of our Remote Rescue Medical Technicians (RRMTs) were soon with the lady. ![]()

As the first assessment was carried out and pain relief began to be administered we were joined by the WAST Ambulance Crew, then working closely with each other we were able to slowly support the lady with a slow careful walk (with our stretcher close at hand on standby) out of the gorge to our vehicles and the ambulance, for onward journey to hospital. ![]()

Before our arrival the lady had been made as comfortable as possible and kept warm with coats from passers by. We’re particularly grateful to a nurse who we only know as “Georgia”, Georgia’s mum and their walking companions, for staying with the casualty and her husband until we arrived, thank you all.![]()

We hope the injured shoulder mends quickly and hope our casualty is back out walking soon.
