The Scottish Ambulance Service is appealing to communities and organisations on Arran to register potentially life-saving public access defibrillators on its dedicated website.
Launching its Registration to Resuscitation campaign, the service’s national community resilience manager Murray McEwan said: ‘Public access defibrillators can be found all over Scotland, including many communities in Ayrshire and Arran, and are vital pieces of equipment in the crucial early minutes following a cardiac arrest before an ambulance arrives.
‘When someone experiences a cardiac arrest they are unconscious and not breathing, or not breathing normally, and their life is in immediate danger, which is why these defibrillators are so important.’
