Two new defibrillators for the parish
15th March 2020
New defibrillator on the front of The Pavilion, next to the Co-op, Hall Bank

Thank you to Rea Valley First Responders for their donation of two new defibrillators in the parish.  One can be seen outside The Pavilion (see photo left) and one at Cruckton Village Hall.  Thanks also to Cllrs Fletcher and Sandells for their donations towards the defibrillator boxes.  The Codes to open both boxes are C159x.  Unfortunately, we had to postpone the first aid and defibrillator training planned for March due to restrictions placed on trainers in relation to COVID.19. 

In the meantime, the advice to the Pontesbury and Cruckton population is as posted on your new boxes :

  • Check for breathing for no more than ten seconds.
  • Dial 999 – tell Ambulance control you have a non breathing person at xxxxxxx location
  • Get someone to start chest compressions immediately and don’t stop until AED arrives
  • Tell Ambulance you have access to AED ID box no. AGA918 Pontesbury Pavilion,

           4263 Pontesbury Public Toilets, or AGA898 Cruckton Village Hall.

  • Go for the AED, or send someone else to get it  – box access code C159X (both The Pavilion and Cruckton,  C1 Pontesbury Public Toilets)
  • Apply AED soonest, urgently, to casualty – follow machine instructions.
  • Carry on with AED/CPR until paramedic arrives.

 

If you are interested in attending the first aid training which will be re-arranged as soon as possible, please contact the parish Clerk.
