Recruitment
““It was just a normal afternoon on the railways when Heather Hodkinson, a newly appointed Station Manager, had just come out of a meeting and received a call from a colleague passing through. Heather asked Gary Campbell (an office manager) who was at a different meeting and had just missed his train back to Liverpool, to come along and assist.
Both went into the ladies toilet and found one of the cubicles was locked with someone inside who was refusing to open the door.
Heather and Gary tried negotiation tactics but did not make any progress, and the woman did not respond. Both had gut instincts about the situation and decided to force open the cubicle door.
Gary went in first and both he and Heather used first aid to help the woman they found inside. They made her comfortable until the paramedics arrived and took her to hospital for some further check-ups.
According to the paramedics, if it wasn't for the quick thinking of Gary and Heather the outcome would have been very different.
Both of them would have left home in the morning, thinking and planning for their respective meetings, neither of them envisaging that by the end of the day they would have saved someone’s life.““
