The Trustees and Management at Clegwell and Hartleyburn Community Hub (CIO) have purchased a defibrillator for the Clegwell site, we currently have one in place and located at the Hartleyburn Hub site.
The device, which can be used by the public, facilities and community groups.
“We’ve had a few incidents and near misses at the site in the past, so this will hopefully save a life.
“If you don’t do anything the chance of survival will decrease every minute by 10%. Performing CPR and using a defibrillator before the ambulance arrives doubles the chance of survival,”
The defibrillator has been installed at the Main Reception in the Red Building at Clegwell Hub.
Chair of the Trustees Liz McHugh said that the device would “definitely help to save lives”.
“Having a defibrillator on site ready to go will support our staff, groups and teams’ efforts during critical incidents.
