SPECIALIST airborne medics were deployed to the scene of a medical emergency in a seaside town.

The Essex & Herts Air Ambulance landed in Clacton earlier today after being called into action by the East of England Ambulance Service.

Upon arrival, the two teams worked together to optimise the outcome of a female patient who had been seriously injured.

After being stabilised as the scene the casualty was transferred to an emergency department for further treatment and care.
