Beaumaris Lifeboat exercise interrupted by a request for a medical evacuation.
The volunteers of the Beaumaris lifeboat had launched the boat on exercise when they received a request to conduct a medical evacuation of a male from a commercial pleasure craft.
The lifeboat went alongside and transferred two crew members aboard the boat who undertook casualty care procedures and arranged for the casualty to remain on board until the vessel came alongside the pier at Beaumaris to be met by paramedic and ambulance.
Once this had been achieved the two volunteer crew members re-joined their colleagues on the lifeboat and resumed the interrupted training session.
