Defibrillators
Location of defibrillation units
A defibrillator is a device that gives a jolt of energy to the heart. It helps get the heart beating again when someone is in cardiac arrest and their heart has stopped.
If someone is in cardiac arrest, call 999 and start CPR. If you’re on your own, do not interrupt CPR to go and find a defibrillator. If it’s possible, send someone else to find one. When you call 999, the operator can tell you if there’s a public access defibrillator nearby.
Anyone can use a defibrillator. You do not need training. Once you turn it on, it will give clear step-by-step voice instructions.
There are defibs in Marlingford on the front of the Marlingford Bell Public House and on the outside of Colton Village Hall
The 999 call handler is able to share the access code to open the cabinets the defibs are in.
If you see any issues with the defibs or have to use one please contact the clerk, clerk@marlingfordandcolton-pc.gov.uk
