JazzyKex - an excellent post. I share your congratulations to the F/O who did such a good job under testing circumstances.

Given the emergency, the skies would have parted quicker than Moses v. the Red Sea and direct to 10 mile final at STN would be all ready for him. Better that than expect a low-time FO to cope with flying singlehanded into an unfamiliar airport such as Manchester.

Stopping on the RW and getting immediate medical assistance to the captain would have been top priority. Steps out, medics on, captain out and into ambulance, new captain in, steps in, taxy clear. Allow 5-10 min in all?

I hope Mo'L has sent a letter of congratulations to the chap involved at the very least!
