Great to have these available in Wallingford, thanks Nationwide UK.
Have you spotted this new lifesaving equipment in Wallingford?
If you’ve walked past Nationwide recently, you may have noticed an important new addition outside the branch – a public access defibrillator and emergency bleed control kit, available for the whole community to use in an emergency.
Wallingford is part of a major nationwide initiative which will see this lifesaving equipment installed at all 605 Nationwide branches across the UK – putting defibrillators and bleed control kits right at the heart of hundreds of communities.
Here in Wallingford, the equipment has been installed externally, making it accessible 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In an emergency, always call 999 and the operator will provide instructions and, where required, the access code for the equipment.
A defibrillator can make a crucial difference when someone suffers a cardiac arrest, while a bleed control kit provides equipment to help deal with a serious or catastrophic bleed until the emergency services arrive.
The equipment is there for all of us, so we wanted to make sure Wallingford residents know it’s there and where to find it should it ever be needed.
A fantastic initiative and a really valuable addition to our town. Thank you to Nationwide UK for investing in lifesaving equipment for communities like ours.
