That means that when someone has been assessed by NHS staff as being medically fit to leave, it’s important they are helped home as soon as possible.
Devon Air Ambulance is sometimes called to assist with Inter Hospital Transfers (IHT) but more recently, they have undertaken a new ‘Rapid Transfer Service’ for stroke patients.
Strokes are the second most common cause of death worldwide. 85% of strokes are caused by a blockage (a clot called a thrombus) in the small blood vessels of the brain, and the remaining 15% occur as a result of a bleed in the brain.

At this time of year, charity shops across Britain see an influx of donations. As new toys and gifts have arrived in many homes over Christmas, they quickly become the new favourites as older ones are abandoned for the latest playthings.

Around the previous decade, manufacturers all over the globe have increased manufacturing capacity, and the cost of solar has plummeted by almost 80%! As a result, it...
