World of Work Week - Paramedic

Today we had a visit from a familiar face - Eilidh, our Hearstart trainer. She is a Paramedic who specialises in Neo-Natal transport. This means that when a baby is born too early and needs moved to a special hospital she goes to get them. She told us a story about flying to Lewis in a Sea-King helicopter to collect a very small baby. They couldn't take much equipment in the helicopter (not even an incubator) so when they got the baby they had to wrap it in a bubble-wrap envelope, then a towel, then put it inside Eilidh's fleece during the flight to keep it warm!

Thank you for taking the time to come and talk to us Eilidh.
