West Stockwith: Village’s first defibrillator is unveiled

Seventeen people were trained to use the defibrillator after the official launch and more than 100 people in the local villages have now been trained in the last eight months.

Five Villages First Responders is planning a further training session which will be open to residents of any of the local villages with a defibrillator.

It will be an evening session to accommodate those not available in the daytime. The date, time, and location are to be confirmed and will be publicised shortly.
