🚫 PUBLIC APPEAL: Defibrillator 🚫
Over the weekend, our Community AED at Blackwood Medical Practice (Kirkmurhill) was removed from its cabinet. Firstly we do hope that everything is ok.
The door was opened without receiving an access code, meaning it was not dispatched via a 999 ☎️ Emergency call or the BHF Defib Circuit❤️.
Status update:
The AED unit has since been recovered and is in working order. However, the electrode pads are missing. Without these pads, the life-saving equipment cannot be deployed. Replacement pads cost nearly £100, which directly impacts local community funds.
