Observant shoppers in Avenue Parade will have noticed a brand new Defibrillator has been installed adjacent to the Nebel Pharmacy chemist. This initiative was championed by John Carey from the Lower Sunbury Business Community, with a bit of help from LOSRA, and partly financed by contributions from our 2 local Conservative Councillors from their Council allowances.
Naturally, we hope you won't have to use it, but if you do, here are some helpful tips.
A defibrillator gives a high energy shock to the heart of someone who is in cardiac arrest and may save their life.
-
In an emergency, access the defibrillator by calling 999 and give the postcode of the unit (TW16 5HS). They will give you the access code and send out an ambulance.
-
We are encouraging our community to learn how to use the defibrillator, by watching an instructional video below. Anyone can use it; you do not need to be first aid trained.
-
Our defibrillator is fully automatic and will prompt you through how to use it in a cardiac arrest emergency. However, watching the video should give you extra confidence in using it.
-
Please point your phone’s camera at the QR code below and follow the prompt to watch the video from London Hearts. Please forward it to local friends too.
