This year we commissioned the purchase and installation of a community defibrillator that is positioned on the external front entrance of the building. This has been registered with the emergency services, if a defibrillator is needed the 999 call handler will disclose the location and code to the box.
You don’t need to be trained to use a defibrillator – anyone can use it. There are clear instructions on how to attach the defibrillator pads. It then assesses the heart rhythm and will only instruct you to deliver a shock if it’s needed. You cannot deliver a shock accidentally, the defibrillator will only allow you to shock if it is needed.
