There will be a public access demonstration on how to use a defibrillator at the Abbey Neighbourhood Centre on 17th April between 7pm and 8pm on 17th April 2023.

Defibrillators are easy to operate and can be used by anybody, the demonstration will help everyone to use a defibrillator and will make sure they can act quickly and confidently in an emergency as they will be familiar with the device.

Public Access Defibrillators are lifesaving machines. In the UK less than one in ten people survive a cardiac arrest. If we achieved the same survival rates of countries like Norway an additional 100 lives could be saved each week – the equivalent of 5,000 every year.
