The three defibrillators are now up and running and are located at:
- White Hart BT box ( BS26 2EF)
- BT box at the end of Church Lane on Webbington rd ( BS26 2EX)
- Webbington Hotel to the left of the reception steps ( BS26 2HU)
- Cross Memorial Hall (BS26 2EL)
Please take a note of the one nearest to your home and make an accessible list of people and their telephone number who could assist in retrieving a defibrillator in an hour of need.
Defibrillators increase the chances of survival following cardiac arrest so please make a plan in your household of what to do after you have telephoned 999. The ambulance service will give you the keypad access code to your nearest defibrillator.
Automated public defibrillators can be used by anyone trained or untrained as they talk you through step by step. This is a very useful video from the BBC if you didn’t attend the training session and wish to learn more.
Do contact Tracey Brownlow if you require further information on how to access or use a defibrillator on 07731 892294.
