Incident report

Buxton Mountain Rescue Team had just finished packing up from the previous incident when at 3.55 p.m. another call-out was received regarding a collapsed walker in Deep Dale.
Fifteen members rendezvoused at While Lodge car-park at the bottom of Taddington Dale for the climb up towards Deep Dale.  East Midlands Ambulance Service personnel were already with the 53 year old casualty from Sutton in Ashfield who was suffering from an acute medical condition.  An E.M.A.S. doctor, who is also a member of Edale mountain rescue team, arrived soon after.
Whilst treatment continued the lady was carried by rescue team members back down to the car-park where the ambulance was waiting to convey her to a Sheffield hospital.  Team members then cared for and reassured the lady’s eleven year old son and her dog until arrangements could be made to take them home.
