Our Defibrillator is located on the front wall of the Village Hall (Post Code YO62 4LF)
- This Defibrillator is very easy to use. You don't need training to use it. The machine gives clear spoken instructions – all you have to do is follow them - and it won’t shock someone unless they need it.
- If you come across someone who is unconscious, unresponsive, not breathing or not breathing normally, they’re in cardiac arrest.
- The Defibrillator is portable and easily taken to the patient.
- Dial 999 and follow the instructions given.
- Using a Defibrillator alongside CPR can dramatically increase the chance of survival from cardiac arrest.

We hope you will not have to use it however, knowing what
to do in such an emergency could save a life
