Glen Iosal Defibrillator

Glen Iosal, a retirement housing development centrally located in Tobermory on the Isle of Mull, is equipped with a vital public access defibrillator. This essential life-saving device is strategically placed within the development, ensuring immediate aid can be provided in the critical event of a sudden cardiac arrest for its residents and staff, enhancing safety within this community. Its presence contributes to the island-wide network of accessible defibrillators.

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 Glen Iosal. 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 Glen Iosal 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, empowering both residents and the wider community with the means to respond effectively to cardiac emergencies, contributing significantly to the safety and well-being of everyone in Tobermory.
