The defib is in, at Budgens. Big thanks go to the shop for hosting
this and also to local business Jonathan Vowels for offering. It was very public spirited.
The memorandum of understanding which the parish council has signed
states:
“The device should
be available to members of the public whether or not they have had
defibrillator training. It is helpful to conduct community awareness
familiarisation.
“It would be advantageous to have a number of
adults in the village trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation and basic life
support and the use of semi auto/automatic defibrillators.
“Bedfordshire Fire and Rescue Service training
instructors and the East of England Ambulance Service NHS Trust offer a free
awareness course.”
I am sure the Parish Council will be seeking to facilitate this training
and hopefully there will be a good scattering of volunteers who will take it up.
