Patient taken to Guernsey for urgent care
BBCAn islander who needed "urgent medical care" was transferred from Alderney to Guernsey on Friday.
Alderney's lifeboat was launched at 15:45 BST and the patient was transferred to the Princess Elizabeth Hospital in Guernsey.
Coxswain Declan Gaudion said the weather and sea conditions had been difficult during the transfer, with "moderate to rough seas".
A member of the patient's family said they were "very grateful" for the RNLI's help.
They said: "We cannot thank the RNLI volunteers and medical teams enough for stepping in and providing the much needed transfer to Guernsey, it is a stressful and worrying time when a loved one needs urgent medical attention."
The patient was accompanied by two nurses and the journey to Guernsey from Alderney took about one hour 15 minutes.
No further details have been given about the patient's condition.
