The Village Defibrillator

Brightwalton Parish Council installed its own public access defibrillator in 2016, it is located in a locked cabinet on the front of the Village Hall. In an emergency, when you call 999, if appropriate they will tell you the code to gain access to the defibrillator. Within the carry case are scissors, chest pads and everything you will need to use it. The defibrillator itself will talk you through how to use it, anyone can use it. However, to give you confidence before you need it in an emergency we suggest you watch this training video.
