CalMac Craignure Defibrillator

The CalMac Ticket Office at Craignure, the primary ferry terminal on the Isle of Mull, is equipped with a vital public access defibrillator. This essential life-saving device is strategically placed at this busy arrival and departure point, ensuring immediate aid can be provided in the critical event of a sudden cardiac arrest for the thousands of passengers, residents, and visitors who pass through each day. Its presence underscores the commitment to safety in this crucial transport hub.

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 the CalMac Ticket Office in Craignure. 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 CalMac Craignure 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 at a high-traffic location, contributing significantly to the safety and well-being of everyone travelling to and from the Isle of Mull.
