Paramedics face a tricky task extricating a patient from Arthur鈥檚 Seat, a rugged hill in the centre of Edinburgh.

Series following paramedics from the Scottish Ambulance Service as they respond to 999 calls across the country.

In Edinburgh, paramedics from the Special Operations and Response Team attend a woman who has sustained an injury near the summit of Arthur鈥檚 Seat, a rugged hill in the centre of Edinburgh. Although the injury is not serious, transporting the patient from such a difficult location is a challenge: the team needs specialist four-wheel drive equipment to complete the journey and get the patient to hospital.

In Melrose, Lee and Nadine are called to sheltered accommodation where an older man has suffered a nasty fall. He is immobile on the floor and in pain. In order to safely move him into the ambulance, the crew must use a special air cushion. And in the control centre in South Queensferry, dispatcher Kareena needs to mobilise resources to attend to a patient who is having trouble breathing.
