Professor Chris Lavy, an Oxford NHS consultant and orthopaedic surgeon, was airlifted to hospital after slipping during a four-day walk in south Cornwall when he slipped in wet conditions. The St Austell Coastguard Rescue Team responded to the situation, stating that given the thick mud and weather conditions, coastal paths can quickly become dangerous. Lavy was transported to hospital and underwent surgery. He has since sent a letter of thanks to the team and is now taking pride of place at the St.
