Emergency services including the coastguard were called to an incident at Southampton Water.

The Hillhead Coastguard Rescue Team tweeted that their Rescue 175 helicopter was sent out to a medical incident on board a vessel in the tidal estuary north of the Solent.

Their paramedic was winched down to the vessel and was able to care for the person affected.

The Hamble Lifeboat was also sent to the scene and together with the coastguard, the casualty was taken to Hamble.

Here, they were passed into the care of paramedics from the South Coast Ambulance Service, which they described as 'team work' in action with regard to the incident on Friday.
