A Neil Robertson stretcher (NRS) is a type of rescue stretcher designed for the purpose of safely transferring an injured person by either lowering or lifting them to a place of safety. It is constructed from wooden slats and canvas. It features the patient being wrapped in canvas and secured using robust canvas straps, with a lifting rope affixed to a head-mounted ring and a guideline tied near the ankles, serving to halt the stretcher's movement. It has been utilized by the Royal Navy for nearly a century. The Neil Robertson stretcher has been widely adopted in Australia and other countries, and has been credited with reducing the risk of further injury to patients during transport.
