Clun Valley Automated External Defibrillator (AED) Scheme
Sudden Cardiac arrest claims over 75,000 lives in the United Kingdom every year. If a defibrillator arrives quickly enough 85% of these patients could have survived. Working in conjunction with the West Midlands Ambulance Service the Clun Valley AED Scheme aims to install AEDs in public buildings throughout the Clun Valley. The first units are already in place and volunteers are being trained in their use. The Scheme organizers want to get AEDs installed in Clunton, Purslow and other local communities. For the Scheme to work in our area we need enough people to volunteer to be trained to use an AED. If you would like to volunteer to be trained, help raise funds or just find out more about the Scheme contact the scheme’s secretary on 01588 640856. Click on the links below for more information:-
