Bunessan Primary School Defibrillator

Bunessan Primary School, an important educational establishment serving the community of Bunessan and the Ross of Mull, is equipped with a vital public access defibrillator. This essential life-saving device is strategically placed within the school premises, ensuring immediate aid can be provided in the critical event of a sudden cardiac arrest for pupils, staff, and visitors. Its presence significantly enhances safety within this learning environment and for the wider local area.

In any medical emergency where a defibrillator might be required, such as a sudden cardiac arrest, the immediate and crucial action is always to dial 999 and request the ambulance service. Emergency call handlers on Mull are fully informed about all registered defibrillator locations across the island, including the unit at Bunessan Primary School. They are trained to provide precise guidance on how to access the device and offer crucial instructions on its use, all while professional medical assistance is promptly dispatched to the scene.

The provision and ongoing maintenance of this defibrillator at Bunessan Primary School is part of the broader commitment by the Mull and Iona Community Trust to establish a robust network of these critical devices across the islands. This initiative ensures that vital medical equipment is readily available in key community spaces, empowering individuals with the means to respond effectively to cardiac emergencies and contributing significantly to the safety and well-being of everyone connected to the school and the Bunessan area.
