Air ambulance patients to benefit from new path

Fri, 27 Jun 2014

Patients who have to use the air ambulance service should now have a smoother transition from the ambulance to the helicopter. 

Welfare Trustees from Ramsey and District Cottage Hospital have donated £2,000 for a new path to be laid near to the northern hospital.

The work will help to improve the care, treatment and movement of patients as it allows the stretchers and hospital beds to be rolled right up to the helicopter doors.

It's anticipated the new path will be used over 20 times a year - predominantly during the TT and Festival of Motorcycling.
