Welcome
Thank you for visiting our community website. It is available on desktops, laptops, tablets and smartphones so you will always have access to this information. We hope that you will find it interesting, informative and possibly life saving!
Our aim was to place an easy to use defibrillator in each of Sutton Scotney, Wonston, Norton, Stoke Charity and Hunton and this has now been achieved. These devices require no training to use and can save a life in the event of a cardiac arrest.
Be sure to visit our Useful Info section to learn about heart attacks, cardiac arrests, sepsis, using SMS for emergency calls, emergency calls by British Sign language and more...
Why do we need defibrillators?
Simply because we live in a rural location where the chance of a sufficiently fast response from South Central Ambulance Service is not very likely. This is no criticism of SCAS who do provide an excellent service but who are hampered by having their vehicles held in queues at A & E Departments.
Awareness Training
Our training sessions are, for now, complete. However, you can obtain the same information from our Online Learning page. It will take about 15 minutes of your time.
Not Managed by Us
We are pleased to support The Gratton Trust in listing their defibrillator on our website. Whilst this new defibrillator, which has kindly been supplied by The Football Association, is primarily in place for sporting activities, it is available 24/7 365 days of the year for medical emergencies anywhere in the village. As with all our other devices call '999' and South Central Ambulance will provide the code to unlock the cabinet. Any queries regarding this device should be directed to grattontrustchair@gmail.com This defibrillator is on the front wall of the Gratton Pavilion as shown in the image.
