A defibrillator can save your life if you're in cardiac arrest. This device, located on the side of Bottisham Pharmacy, provides an electrical charge that stops your heart's abnormal rhythm so your heart can get back to a normal rhythm. Even with defibrillation, cardiac arrest is fatal for many people. Did you know that a shock given within 3 - 5 minutes can produce survival rates of between 50% and 70%!

This device can be used by anyone, whether or not they have had formal training. gives the person using it voice instructions. In order to open you need to dial 999 and state your location and the call handler will provide you with an access code to open. You must stay on the line with the call handler. An AED will not allow a shock to be given unless the collapsed person needs one.

As you all know, Justin Moore, Lindum Homes site manager of the new houses built at the end of Bell Road ran a marathon in the Autumn to raise funds for the defibrillator. We are grateful also to Bottisham Pharmacy for allowing us to locate this on the side of their building.  

Bottisham Parish Council Clerk is the primary administrator and we will ensure pads etc are all maintained.

We are fortunate to have defibrillators in the following locations:

1) Bottisham Pharmacy (outside on the wall where the old white notice board was mounted and outside Elite fish bar)

2) Bottisham Sports & Social Club

3) Bottisham Medical Practice.
