Last night we put our new trainees through a session on casualty movement.

The recruits were introduced to a litter and a scoop stretcher. It was a great session with superb team work.

Second part of Tuesdays training session was litter management training including laddering techniques, rotation and each trainee ST taking their turn as Litter captain. Great effort by all involved 👊🏻😎

Clark Kent would sometimes use a phone booth to change into the fictional superhero, Superman.

In Shropshire today, we grabbed this photo of actual people turning into real life superheroes.

Here you see two of our new recruits on today's navigation challenge.

This photo is probably up there with someone being knighted by the royal family or receiving an Oscar.
