New community defibrilators now installed in Giltbrook and Newthorpe
Two new community defibrilators are now installed and available to use in Giltbrook.
Greasley Parish Council says the defibrilators, one of which is outside Sunny’s Takeaway on Smithurst Road and the other at The Horse & Groom pub, are now ready to use.
Posting on its Facebook page, the council said: “These new units are fully automatic, suitable for both adults and children without needing separate pads, and include a CPR metronome to help guide chest compressions in an emergency.
“A big thank you to Sunny’s Takeaway and The Horse & Groom for continuing to host these potentially life-saving pieces of equipment for the community.
“As always, in an emergency, call 999 first.
"The emergency services can direct you to the nearest available defibrillator and provide guidance.”
