Defibrillator Lochdon Head Primary School

Lochdonhead Primary School, nestled at the head of a sea loch on the Isle of Mull, is equipped with a publicly accessible 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 members of the wider community. Its presence highlights the collective commitment to enhancing emergency preparedness and safeguarding lives in this tranquil part of the island.

In any medical emergency where a defibrillator might be required, the immediate and crucial action is always to dial 999 and request the ambulance service. Emergency call handlers on Mull are equipped with an up-to-date database of all registered defibrillator locations, including the unit at Lochdonhead Primary School. They are trained to guide callers on how to access the device and provide step-by-step instructions for its use, all while professional medical assistance is promptly dispatched to the scene.

The provision and ongoing maintenance of this defibrillator at Lochdonhead 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 empowers the school community and local residents with the means to respond effectively to cardiac emergencies, contributing significantly to the safety and well-being of everyone in Lochdon and its surrounding areas.
