DEFIBRILLATOR

OSPRINGE Parish Council has acquired a heart defibrillator for the community, with kind contributions from Swale Borough Council and Queenborough Fishery Trust.

The defibrillator is now operational and situated in a bright yellow cabinet on the front wall of the Anglican Catholic Church in the centre of Painter’s Forstal for quick access.

It is registered with The Circuit, the UK network of publicly available defibrillators.

In an emergency where you suspect cardiac arrest, dial 999 and the operator will provide the code to open the cabinet and gain access to the defibrillator.

No training is needed to use the equipment as it gives real-time verbal instructions during use and runs automatically.

The Anglican Catholic Church is kindly providing the electricity needed for the cabinet in which defibrillator is kept.

A rota of volunteers has also been set up to complete regular checks on the equipment to ensure it remains ready for use.

If you wish to join the list of volunteers, please contact the Parish Clerk via [email protected].
