A woman was rushed to hospital on a lifeboat off the coast of Mull on Tuesday afternoon after sustaining a 'serious' head injury.

Tobermory RNLI's volunteer crew jumped to the aid of the female crew member of a yacht following an emergency alert by the UK Coastguard.

Lifeboat Elizabeth Fairlie Ramsey was launched to the scene in the Sound of Mull and two crew who were transferred to the yacht quickly realised that the injured woman needed to be urgently evacuated to Oban for hospital care.

After transferring the casualty to the lifeboat and stabilising her, the crew proceeded full speed to Oban where they were met by Oban Coastguard Rescue Team and a paramedic.Tobermory RNLI's Station Coxswain David McHaffie said: "Our crew are trained in casualty care and it is something which we practise regularly. "All of us at the station send our best wishes to the lady and hope that she has a very speedy recovery." Just 24 hours later, Tobermory RNLI's volunteer crew responded to their pagers again when they were tasked by the UK Coastguard to assist a yacht with engine failure in the Sound of Mull and they quickly brought into the safety of the pontoons.
