We have been informed by East Midlands Ambulance Service that for the time being, owing to lack of personal protection, First Responders will  NOT be dispatched to Cardiac Arrests or to breathing difficulties and suspected Covid 19 cases. This means that we will only really be sent to stroke or choking casualties.

In case of medical emergency ALWAYS dial 999 . A First Responder will be dispatched if one is on duty. We will be providing reduced cover as some of our group are self-isolating in line with government guidelines. 

There is a static defibrillator at the pub and the access code will be provided when you call 999.

If you fancy refreshing your CPR skills in the event of needing to assist during a cardiac arrest please take a look at a YouTube video such as the one below from the British Heart Foundation featuring Vinnie Jones.
