A Nursing Cadet - a simulated patient - being stretchered up a Cornish cliff by Coastguards and St John Ambulance volunteers as part of a simulated rescue operation
Cornwall has some of the most dramatic and rugged sea cliffs in Britain, making it a perfect location for realistic training alongside HM Coastguard, who coordinate all maritime search and rescue operations in the UK. Here, a Nursing Cadet is acting as a patient, while St John Ambulance adult volunteers work alongside Coastguard Rescue Officers in a joint training effort.
