    Community Defibrillators

     

    As part of our commitment to supporting the local community, we maintain a network of over 50 defibrillators. Some of this equipment has been funded through the efforts of our colleagues and local members, while other units have been inherited. Regardless of how the equipment has been acquired, responsibility for its care lies with the colleagues at the site where it is located.

    Site teams are responsible for the regular checking and maintenance of the equipment to ensure it is fully operational and ready for use in the event of an emergency. Many of our store teams are trained to carry out weekly checks and to record the results on the system used by the ambulance service. If these checks are not completed as required, the equipment may not be considered suitable for deployment in an emergency.

    In addition, working with our trusted partner The Community Heartbeat Trust, we offer defibrillator awareness training sessions to our colleagues and to our members through our member engagement programme.
