DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE VILLAGE DEFIBRILATOR IS KEPT?
IN THE PHONE BOX BY THE BUS STOP ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE ON THE WAY OUT OF THE VILLAGE TOWARDS LEEDSTOWN.
To gain access requires a code which is shown on and around the unit. It is necessary to key in all 5 digits to open the cover. You will find it requires a good pull at the top and side. Once you have opened it you will be talked through the procedure.
Anyone can use a defibrillator. You do not need training. Once you turn it on, it will give clear step-by-step voice instructions.
The device checks the person’s heart rhythm and will only tell you to give them a shock if it’s needed. You cannot shock yourself or someone else accidentally.
