Paramedic Shelly Rodrigues is not a great fan of boats, but received an award for staying with an ill French fisherman.
A PARAMEDIC has been recognised for her efforts in helping a fisherman who was taken ill at sea.
Shelly Rodrigues, 32, received a Chief Ambulance Officer’s Commendation at the St John Ambulance & Service’s annual awards ceremony.
Miss Rodrigues (pictured) and medical technician Alan Brehaut were taken aboard the St Peter Port lifeboat, Spirit of Guernsey, to a fishing boat, Angel Emile, 20 miles north of Guernsey, in November.
Miss Rodrigues joined the Ambulance and Rescue Service 10 years ago and she has been a paramedic for the last six years.
