TT 2022: Record year for Ambulance Service callouts

Fri, 17 Jun 2022

This year's Isle of Man TT was the busiest on record for the island's Ambulance Service.

Across the fortnight, the team:

Dealt with 761 calls to the 999 service (169 more calls than the number received during TT 2019)
Responded to 710 incidents
Experienced its busiest ever day on Tuesday 07 June, attending 60 individual incidents across the 24-hour period
Dealt with 106 individuals who had suffered injuries caused by a fall
Dealt with 33 road traffic accidents
Used A99, the helicopter air ambulance based on-Island for the TT fortnight*, 30 times in eight days
Transferred 36 patients to tertiary care centres in the UK for further, specialist treatment using the fixed-wing Air Ambulance service operated by Manx Care

The Island-based team members were joined for the fortnight by seven additional colleagues, six from Wales and one from Guernsey, increasing Paramedic numbers to support the increase in demand for their services during the TT period. In addition, support was provided locally from St. John Ambulance and the Hogg Motor Sport Association.
