Training
We expect to arranged CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) training sessions in 2023 which will include the use of defibrillators. These will be 'hands on' sessions and open to everyone.
CPR training may enable YOU to save a life. That life could be a friend, someone in your family or YOU!
Equipment
The Automated External Defibrillators (with towel/razor/scissors/etc.) installed for the use of everyone, are located around the village of Storrington in the following locations:-
All of the equipment is in bright yellow cabinets outside these locations. They are catalogued, checked regularly and logged into a British Heart Foundation database. These are life-saving devices provided by donations from the people and organisations in the Storrington area. Recently, some of the ancillary equipment has been stolen from the cabinets and false reports of use of defibrillators has been notified to the British Heart Foundation. This removes the defibrillator from the BHF database so that in a real emergency that particular defibrillator is not available. Such behaviour is irresponsible and could endanger someone's life.

The Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) are used to assist with restoration of a normal heart rhythm to a patient in difficulty.
