New defibrillator for Sidlow
The defibrillator was installed in Sidlow in early September 2023 and is located next to the Parish Council noticeboard near the Three Horseshoes Pub in Ironsbottom. The defibrillator needs to be kept at an ambient temperature all year round so we have purchased a locked solar cabinet to house the defibrillator. If you would like to know the code for access please contact the Clerk. Alternatively, if in an emergency you needed access, when you call the ambulance on 999 they would give you the code. The unit might appear to be a strange angle but this is so the solar panels reach maximum benefit from the sun! The procurement and installation costs were just under £4,000. We hope it will never have to be used but now have comfort that there is a unit near our residents in Sidlow. In July 2023 we held a well attended defibrillator/ CPR training session for our residents with some really good questions being asked. We thank Brendan, who runs First Aid training, and joined us to offer free CPR training to compliment the defib training.
