MEDIVAC OFF RHYL.

The captain of the Aasli contacted the Holyhead Coastguard Co-ordinating centre to ask advice on a sick crew member on 22nd. August 2016. He was put in touch with a hospital doctor via a radio link. The doctor recommended the crewman should be evacuated to a hospital for further investigations, and the Rhyl's all-weather lifeboat was launched. Aasli was at anchor some 10 miles offshore, and the lifeboat was alongside nearly an hour later. The crewman was assisted on to the lifeboat and was cared for by two of the lifeboat's casualty care team. The crewman spoke very little English, and so hand signals and gestures were used to help overcome the language barrier. The man was given oxygen to assist his conditions and his condition continuously monitored. The lifeboat then returned at full speed back to Rhyl, and the man was taken to Ysbyty Glan Clwyd Hospital by ambulance.
