LAST Sunday we had to ring for an ambulance after a member of All Saints' Church, Pavement, congregation fell and hurt herself.

Hardly had the call to the ambulance service ended than a cycle medic appeared. He at once calmly took charge, made the woman comfortable, applied a dressing to her head and placed her in the right body position ready for the ambulance team.

I should also commend the ambulance team which was equally swift and efficient.
