At last year's London Marathon, St John Ambulance (SJA) volunteers treated almost 6,200 casualties from among more than 35,000 runners. In this article, emergency nurse Hazel Mortimer, who regularly works as a volunteer emergency nurse with the SJA, describes her experiences at this year's event and her expectations of the 2012 Olympics.
