Caroline Thomas, a 83-year-old retired teacher, now plays a vital role in training emergency responders by volunteering as a mock casualty in lifelike medical simulations.

She is a senior instructor and branch leader with Casualties Union, a London charity that supplies volunteer actors to aid in the training of medical professionals.

Peter Johnson, London Fire Brigade Group Commander, says “it’s invaluable to have that one-to-one human interaction”.
